Issue created Aug 04, 2022 by tobiasBora@tobias.bora

Green border in text aliazing (NB: fix requires the changes in Cairo 1.17.6 or backport to earlier versions)

Environment/Versions

  • GIMP version: 2.10.30
  • Package: installed via nixpkgs
  • Operating System: NixOs unstable (1ffba9f2f68), KDE Plasma

The bug was known before (2012) and claimed to be solved, but I still experience it. As I couldn't find it here, here we go! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1010421

Description of the bug

When I add some white text, the aliasing is green instead of white:

I would instead expect something like that (obtained via Layer>Text to path + Select>From path + Fill in white the selection):

Reproduction

Is the bug reproducible? Always

Reproduction steps:

  1. Open gimp and create a new image with black background (more visible)
  2. Add some white text to the image

…

Expected result: white text

Actual result: text with green borders/aliazing.
