Bug ID: 470619
Summary: All fonts except for "Window title" don't obey an
unchecked "Anti-Aliasing" setting
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.26.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_fonts
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sunsp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If the "Anti-Aliasing" option is unchecked, only "Window Title" correctly
renders as aliased. All other elements on the panel continue rendering as
anti-aliased.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Uncheck "Anti-Aliasing"
2. Open an app like Dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
Using Dolphin as an example, the window titlebar will be correctly aliased, but
everything else in the window will be anti-aliased.
EXPECTED RESULT
For everything to be completely aliased, however if there has to be a bug, it
should be a consistent bug.. the window title should also be anti-aliased in
that situation.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: SteamOS 3.4.6
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-valve36-1-neptune (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I actually often do use truetype fonts that have been hinted to work properly
aliased. I feel the need to make this comment because I've seen a number of
comments in bug reports saying "why would you want ugly fonts?". My response to
that is, if you use a properly hinted font designed for 1-bit, it'll be crisp
and clear just like bitmapped fonts in the console. It is correct that if the
font is not hinted and AA is turned off, it will look bad on a lower resolution
display. Also, the higher resolution a display is, the less and less you need
anti-aliasing, in other words, if you're on 4K, 5K, 6K, 8K, etc. resolution
displays, you will actually WANT to have anti-aliasing (and hinting) turned
off. In any case, the bug should demonstrate a consistent behaviour with the
rest of the screen elements.
