[TxMt] Help! Font rendering suddenly degraded. Have deleted ATS caches.

[Michael Johnston]

The problem, whatever it is has now "infected" TextEdit. I think this  
is a Leopard problem.


QuickType mono now looks the same in TextEdit as it does in Textmate.

The only thing I've done is to quit & relaunch TextEdit.

I'd think I was going crazy if I didn't have the screen capture to  
prove what it used to look like.

Cheerio,
