There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice find and good fix, makes sense in that context and actually seems that VSCode does something similar for that case.
Thanks for this as well as plenty of your other PRs and happy new year! 🙂

Closes #45496 Should help #43460 And probably also #44503 The minimap usually renders about 10x more lines of code and shaped text than the editor. With expensive fonts such as Google Sans Code, this can cause noticeable lag, since we attempt to synthesize 300+ lines of code using a heavy font. Because minimap text is rendered at around 2px and is essentially illegible, it doesn’t make sense to use the custom buffer font. Release Notes: - Improved minimap performance when using custom fonts --------- Signed-off-by: Marco Mihai Condrache <52580954+marcocondrache@users.noreply.github.com>
