GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 743603
Text layer antialiasing cut off from capital letters
Last modified: 2018-05-24 15:03:19 UTC
Created attachment 295590 [details] Picture about sample text with antialiasing turned on and off. When i turn on antialiasing in text layers - with some font types it cut off from the capital letters and rarely from the letters: l and k (depends on font type). To explain it better i made a screenshot about it.
This could be a duplicate of bug 612561.
(In reply to Michael Natterer from comment #1) > This could be a duplicate of bug 612561. Yes, the problem is almost similar, however on bug 612561 antialiasing not seem to have any effect, i downloaded his .xcf sample from that report and the only thing which solved that problem and made the text fully visible was setting the text alignment to "left" or "center". Setting alignment to "justify" or "right" cause the cutting off of the last letters.
Wait... Massimo, do you read? Just a few days ago you commented on a freetype fix in another bug, this one sounds awfully similar. Can it be the same issue?

Can it be the same > issue? I investigated that bug because it was easier as it linked the font used. Anyway in that case I did not see a noteworthy effect disabling antialiasing. With Box mode 'fixed' setting the alignment to 'justify' is broken for oblique/italic fonts, 'right' is somewhat fixable at least in the same way as 'left', but I'm going to comment and attach a patch to bug #612561 later.

Is that part of the image or of the post-processing (gluing two screenshots and adding text) or a theme rendering glitch?
