How to disable antialiasing of text fonts

[bflmpsvz]

I need to disable antialiasing of text fonts. IrfanPaint has Text/Antialiased text options.
For the Microsoft mspaint I can disable antialising in the whole Windows (Performance Options - Smooth edges of screen fonts - uncheck). But IrfanView Insert Text (Ctrl T) (which I prefer) does not respect the Windows settings and I do not know how to disable AA. (I use IV 4.57 version ).

I don't understand why you ask. Your image clearly shows the difference between the antalialised text (left ) and the normal text (right),
which does not have smooth roundings and sides.

I use IV 4.57 version.

Any good reason why you're using such an outdated version. IrfanView 4.60 was released in March 2022, so that is about due for an update.

Not that it will make any difference to your issue, but other bugs fixes and improvements have been made.

🙄 I am asking how to achieve the normal text (right), when Insert Text offer only the antialiased (left).

Well, the reason is the pngout plugin, the 4.57 version is the last one which work with it. I use it very often for images with 256 colors, and pngout makes smaller files, and I have chance to stop it during compression. Unfortunately, the OptiPNG is so much worse in these two features, that I still keep the 4.57 version.

It's working as intended for me. If I switch from Antialiased text to Text, I get sharp text. This is independent on Windows settings.

But I was asking for Insert Text (Ctrl-T) which has no switch from Antialiased to Text.
