[Feature Request] Disable Antialiasing #677

Open creckord opened 4 years ago

creckord commented 4 years ago

I'm currently on the hunt for a new terminal on Windows and love what you're doing with Fluent.

I just have one major issue that keeps me from adopting it: Any chance for a setting to completely disable font smoothing/antialiasing? It gives me serious eye strain and in my opinion also looks absolutely terrible.

I already have it disabled systemwide as much as Windows lets me, but there are always places where it rears its ugly head again, Fluent being one of them.

Here's my current mintty terminal next to Fluent, using the same font (ignore the incomplete color mapping):

Are you sure the eye strain isn't from using a white background? 😆

creckord commented 4 years ago

Very 😁 I'm strange that way, but dark themes make my eyes bleed even more than blurry fonts...

felixse commented 4 years ago

what font are you using? Maybe I can find something

creckord commented 4 years ago

It's Lucida Console, but the issue is the same for all fonts I tried (I noticed that bitmap fonts don't show up though, so I only tried the monospace TTFs I had)

This issue is a show stopper for me too. Unfortunately anti-aliasing cannot be disabled in UWP apps. Bad choice, dear devs. We can thank that to Micro$hit.
