Gimp Font tool Antialiasing and Hinting inoperable
Submitted by blap
Link to original bug (#787841)
Description
When using Text Tool in gimp 2.8 on linux, on an rgb image, and disabling hinting and antialiasing, the text renders as antialiased.
I also noticed that when I had rgb hinting enabled in system settings, gimp drew text with colored fringes.
Sample image:
Expected behavior: *) Font rendering obeys antialiasing and hinting settings specified by user.
