Compare the OP's initial screenshot of the wanted goal with the different rendering of your workaround: every of the 6 characters has another look. (the bottom row has a different curve map set) lacerto 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discover Hawk Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 10 hours ago, lacerto said: In my experience non-antialiased rendering of text works identically in any app that supports the feature. I have tested so far Photoshop, GIMP, CorelPHOTO-PAINT (both Windows and macOS), and Acorn. All these apps also can fetch hinted versions of glyphs (e.g. TrueType hints for 2 and 5 for LiSu), but more generally: they do non-antialiased rendering identically for any fonts I have tested, whether hinted or not, whether TrueTypes or PostScript based outlines. Affinity apps basically just turn on all antialiased pixels above certain threshold: ...and here is how it is done in Acorn (and PS, CorelPHOTO-PAINT and GIMP, and...): antialiasing_off_acorn.mp4 5.19 MB · 0 downloads Does this mean Affinity has issues with its core design?

And you're absolutely right, of course. Hence also my deliberate usage of the word "emulate". sigh… Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you may want to request it: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/52-feedback-suggestions Unfortunately, after comparison, I found that Affinity is one of the few software that cannot display properly, which is very bad. @Dan CSorry buddy, I need @ you. I hope to use Affinity to truly replace Photoshop. Although Affinity currently does not have any AI tools like Photoshop, that is not necessary, but the display issue is very serious.
