Subject: [9fans] drawterm with HIDPI support for macOS

A quick heads up that I tried using drawterm on a modern Mac and was sorely miffed that I couldn’t adjust pixel density/scaling (and hence font size, which on modern displays appears as if scaled for ants), so I forked it in mild but controlled anger and bewilderment and did some patching:

Take it with the usual “works for me” disclaimer.

Thanks,

R.
