Description flarn2006 2021-06-26 03:01:17 UTC

SUMMARY
I have "Draw anti-aliased" turned off, and for the most part, this works fine. However, when I use the Text tool, the text is still anti-aliased.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Settings menu, and turn off "Draw anti-aliased" if it's not already off.
2. Select a font that is capable of anti-aliasing if necessary.
3. Type some text.

OBSERVED RESULT
The text appears anti-aliased.

EXPECTED RESULT
The text should appear without anti-aliasing.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.12.8-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Since a user is more likely to want text anti-aliased than other tools, I think there should be a separate option in that menu for text, so users won't need to turn it on and back off every time they want to draw text.

Not sure what this report is about:
Is it "reporting a bug that text is always anti-aliased" 
(if so: that's what it is supposed to do: it's about DRAWING lines, not writing text)
or is it a wish to "support aliased text" (for which I would not know why anyone wants ugly text)

Sorry about that. If the "bug" is intentional, then yes, I guess this can be interpreted as a request for an option to support aliased text.
