Description: LO version: LO 5.3.2.2 x64 OS: Windows 7 SP1 x64 Disable anti-aliasing for fonts does not work Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open menu 'Tools' → Options → LibreOffice → View 2. Deselect the option "Use anti-aliasing" 3. Restart LibreOffice Actual Results: Bug: The anti-aliasing is not disabled. Even if I disable the OpenGL and /or HW acceleration, nothing changes. In Windows all the anti aliasing are disabled and all other applications are shown without anti-aliasing, as well LibreOffice 5.2.5.1. Expected Results: Anti-aliasing should be disabled. Blurred fonts are very uncomfortable for my sight. I have to switch back to LO 5.2.5.1. Please someone fix it soon. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I set it as major bug, because blurred fonts for some people are so uncomfortable, that they can't work with it. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
would you please post a screenshot? did you try LibO 5.2.7.2? is it unaffected by that bug?

Confirm the apparent non-function of the "Use anti-alaising" checkbox. Believe this is all wrapped up in Windows font rendering issues of bug 106990 Font rendering has all shifted to DirectWrite, and OpenGL rendering matches Default GPU/CPU rendering, but quality of the font rendering is rough--so UI does not seem to respond to the "Use anti-alaising" M. Meeks thinks a change to CLEARTYPE_QUALITY rather than DEFAULT_QUALITY may help with the font rendering to UI and to document canvas--if not a more complete rework of the DirectWrite rendering on Windows builds becomes more important (bug 107521) =-ref-= https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106990#c60
I confirm this issue. Disable ClearType don't change screen appearance. I want to do some test without anti-aliasing enabled but I can't. Version: 5.4.1.0.0+ (x64) Build ID: b78c398817940bbbe0b9ebe848a923cef1856758 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-5-4, Time: 2017-07-28_09:02:44 Locale: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: group
Confirmed. This way does not work: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/92250/how-to-disable-libreoffice-5322-font-rendering/ I’ll check 5.4.1.2 (installer needs reboot).
5.4.1.2 still anti-aliasing forced, but rendering is horrible (eats the rightmost column of pixels). Reverting to an old version.
I discovered that fonts were broken in 5.3.
I installed v5.4.1. Even if disabled anti-aliasing and H/W accel., fonts still rasterizes by DirectWrite/ClearType. However, I disabled ClearType/DirectWrite on Registry for standart GDI font rendering: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] ; Value "0" or "1": switch to gray font smoothing (Smooth edges of screen fonts: 'Standard') ; Value "2": switch to colored font smoothing (Smooth edges of screen fonts: 'ClearType') "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000001 Or, run this BATch file as Admin for disable Cleartype and enable GDI font rendering: https://paste.ee/r/1h0lh (Need log-off and again log-in on Windows). * I tried 5.2.7.2. GDI font rendering works (of course if disabled anti-aliasing and H/W accel. from Settings and Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Open Expert Configuration: org.openoffice.Office.Common -> View -> FontAntiAliasing: false).
Thank you. In both paths: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] I have: "FontSmoothing=0" "FontSmoothingtype=1" (I don't want clear type also in Windows) In LO: Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Open Expert Configuration: org.openoffice.Office.Common -> View -> FontAntiAliasing = false But it doesn't work. (WIn7 SP1 64 bit). Will the latest LO version help? Where can I disable the and H/W accel.?
I have tested now the LibreOffice 6.0.2.1 and the disabling of the font rendering works! The bug can be closed.

Hi Lubos - might be interesting for Skia =) use-anti-aliasing seems to mean "enable cleartype" in the modern world - and some people want to be able to turn that off; FYI =)
Thank you for your feedback, then I open the bug again. I had set it as "Worksforme" because I have actually disabled the anti aliasing in the Windows registry, and it affects the windows for all applications. I hope it will be properly solved in LO.
