How to disable font smoothing for pixel fonts


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I must say that I'm coming to love Affinity software!

I'm trying to figure out how I can disable font smoothing when using a tff format pixel font. I've tried following instruction below (adjusting the coverage map), which does remove the anti-aliasing but the font becomes mangled. Is this supported for this in Affinity Photo?

Thanks

Jim

The grade of "mangled" varies inside APh with the zoom level, it doesn't occur in an exported jpg for instance
top texts: adjusted curve – bottom: default curve
