Text tool using sub-pixel anti-aliasing for text inside images
Last modified: 2011-08-27 15:17:48 UTC
My KDE settings were using sub-pixel anti-aliasing, and this caused some odd color issues when inserting text on an image. $ gimp -v GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.7.2 git-describe: GIMP_2_7_1-1748-g7415ef3 using GEGL version 0.1.6 (compiled against version 0.1.6) using GLib version 2.28.5 (compiled against version 2.28.5) using GdkPixbuf version 2.22.1 (compiled against version 2.22.1) using GTK+ version 2.24.3 (compiled against version 2.24.3) using Pango version 1.28.3 (compiled against version 1.28.3) using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0) using Cairo version 1.10.2 (compiled against version 1.10.2)

So, it is acceptable to mark newer tickets as duplicated. How can I have reported a duplicated bug 3 months BEFORE bug 657047? Sigh...
Sorry, 4 months.

Sorry, I shouldn't have reversed the duplication. It makes sense to duplicate against newer bugs if the newer bug better describes the problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 657047 ***
