Hi, can you share a screenshot of the difference? Cascadia is a variable font, and it might be that the two different text engines are selecting a different weight.

Cascadia working in Krita 5.3's new text tool

For what it's worth, it *does* work in 5.3 with the new text tool, so at the very least it will work in the next version of Krita?
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2024-01-17 14:58:59 UTC
I consider that as problem solved. We don't do any of the rendering ourselves in Krita 5.2, so this isn't something we can actually influence. Plus, all text code in 5.2 is legacy.

Cascadia working in Krita 5.3's new text tool

As Krita 5.3 is not public yet, does it mean I have to wait for the new version?

Here is a lyrics quotation of "Lily" on canvas, and the text is not Cascadia on the canvas, but I made the setting in the text tool.
