Custom buffer font - Massive rendering lag #45496
Description
Reproduction steps
Settings: "buffer_font_family": "Google Sans Code",
I've tried:
- Monaspace (githubs) fonts
- Google sans code
Both perform surprisingly bad on the latest Zed version.
I'm not sure if i didn't notice it before, but this time the rendering is extremely slow and lagging.
Current vs. Expected behavior
Rendering should be smooth (like the default fonts or JetBrains Mono).
