GIMP Fonts – Fix Green Border Around Fonts in GIMP

antialiasingfontsgimp

I have a problem in the way text appears in GIMP, I think its related to hinting or anti-aliasing but I have no idea about the cause nor the solution for it.

Best Answer

There is a workaround is available to this problem. Just turn off the anti-aliasing. But the font look very ugly if we turn off that.

Another Solution is just create a file in

sudo gedit /etc/gimp/2.0/fonts.conf

Paste the lines

<fontconfig>
 <match target="font">
  <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
   <const>none</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

Save and Close the editor.

You can find the details in http://smashingweb.info/solved-green-border-around-gimp-text/

Just try this Dont know whether it will work or not.

Ubuntu – No anti-aliasing with Xmonad

You have conflicting directives in your .Xresources. Try removing one of the two lines:

Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.hintstyle: slight

And see if that works. I used exactly your .gtkrc-2.0 and .Xresources on a relatively unmodified Xmonad setup on Ubuntu 12.04, and the setting worked correctly once I removed one of those lines.

Ubuntu – Disabling the anti-aliasing for a specific font with user’s fonts.conf

[I know this question is 5 years old, but it still appears in search engines.]

I just made a .fonts.conf file in the Home directory. It worked right away in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

(Replace the font names accordingly!)

<!-- 
~/.fonts.conf

Remember to run "fc-cache" after you modify this file.

<fontconfig> 

  <match target="font">
    <test name="family" qual="any">
      <string>Ubuntu Mono</string>
      <string>Free Pixel</string>
    </test>
    <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
      <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>

</fontconfig>

I put it into a Gist, plus some additional documentation just in case: https://gist.github.com/gonzalocesar/7ef41572a2627b65da976001a29ba7ee
