If I use the Text Tool in GIMP, the text it makes cannot be used since it has a skyblueish "outline"...

Please see attached files.

GIMP tells me that the text layer has been modified. Any idea what you did to it?

This looks totally like the "global fontconfig subpixel antialiasing settings
break app rendering" bug , but I don't recall the wording of that bug's title.

Bug 657047 – System configuration's subpixel rendering is used for rendering text
Comment 6 Michael Schumacher 2015-04-02 15:54:11 UTC 
TesX, does that bug describe what you are seeing?
Comment 7 TesX 2015-04-02 16:46:20 UTC 
Yes, I think they're the same.
I found out, that with Krita, this problem doesn't appear...

I will report this to that bug with a screenshot of Krita.
Comment 8 Michael Natterer 2015-04-02 22:16:32 UTC 
Krita probably uses something else for font rendering. Anyway this
is a duplicate, thanks for checking the other bug.
