Not sure how you have things set up on your system, but I personally have never had this problem.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the group...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TM. But I have one recurring problem that is starting to irritate me.

9 out of 10 times when I start Textmate, I get some (unknown) font that I don't want. Changing the font setting in preferences has NO effect. Anti-aliasing on/off seems to work, but changing the font does nothing.

But then 1 out of 10 times when I start it, TM uses my font setting and I'm a happy camper and afraid to ever close TM.

I've not spent a lot of time messing around trying to figure out the problem...I'm also new to Mac and feel like a fish out of water doing anything.

So I thought I'd ask if anyone knows what is going on...and how I can get TM to use my font choice all the time.

Thanks, John

One thing that seemed to work then (but only temporarily) was to clean the font cache.

To clean the font cache:

From Terminal run this (this recursively deletes the font cache

folder and requires admin password, be sure you run exactly what is quoted below):

sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS

To delete TM preferences:

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.plist

ProFont, ProFont or ProFont.

Did I mention I love ProFont? ;)

Thanks guys, between these tips below and Ale's recommendation of Linotype FontExplorer X, the problem has been resolved.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks again, John Yates Boxaroo.com

For me it's Dejavu Sans Mono.

Monaco without antialising :) and i have a dark background, i edited a predefined theme and since then i can't switch to white for nothing.

For me it's Consolas all the way. It is a fine piece of typography (i.e: not "a font" : ) with *real* italics and *real* bold.

Depending on what screen I'm using (iMac 20" or MacBook 13") it's set at 14 or 12px.

It is a pleasure to read code set in Consolas. You can tell how much thought went into it : )

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, 13pt. It's quite beautiful, and supports bold and italic.

That is exaclty my setup :-). I've tried a lot of fonts and always came back to monaco. Really nice at a lot of sizes.
