Smoother Fonts for Alacritty on macOS

The font rendering in Alacritty is not as smooth as it is in iTerm. If your OCD is getting the best of you, just run this command to get smooth fonts in Alacritty.

defaults write org.alacritty AppleFontSmoothing -int 0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Voilà!

You can revert this change just deleting the default.

defaults delete org.alacritty AppleFontSmoothing
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
💖 💪 🙅 🚩
