New Mac computers have monitors with a higher pixel-density. This makes text look sharp and pretty. However, many open-source projects do not support these high resolutions yet, and the text in these applications looks pixelated.
There are some hacks for making the text in these applications look sharp. One that I had successfully used for TexMaker requires adding the following piece of code to the end of info.plist file in an application's package.
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
<string>True</string>
This goes right before the </dict> tag.
The above method, however, does not work on all applications. FileZilla is one example. I came across a nice application that fixes the text-sharpness and takes care of the above steps as well. It also works on FileZilla. The app is called Retinizer and is found here.
