When I use the font tool in Paint, the letters are anti-aliased automatically. Is there way of turning this ugly effect off?

To disable XP's fugly subpixel rendering go on Display options, appearence and disable "clear type fonts" or something. It's basically that.

Thanks James.
Yeah you just have to untick the box: appearance - effects - "Use following method to smooth font edges"

Which also make your computer look ugly...
Use Graphics Gale, it's much better than Paint. Paint can't even compress PNG files right...

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but on the subject of MS Paint, does anyone else have a problem where once they select a tool, they cant select the text tool? I click on the text button at the side and it just beeps at me o.o

You can't use the text tool when you're zoomed in. LAME!

I'm so used to using the right click colour select function in MMF2 Ms paint is always a bit of a struggle to use.

Yes indeed. Right-click color selection is easily the greatest feature MMF has. But I thought even with anti-aliasing on, when you click away from the text in paint, it goes to plain ol' pixely? Maybe that was TGF...

Anti-aliasing is a good thing in pixel art, because it allows you to smooth rough edges. Why you do not want it added, I do not know, but I suppose if you wanted it gone really bad you could zoom in and fix it like this...

However, you will notice that the text with ant-aliasing is far from an ugly since it smooths off those horrible edges. As far as help goes, you might be able to go to a font site and download a font that fits your needs.

Because if he wants to put text over a background, the anti-alias messes with it.

To call it an ugly effect though is pretty dumb, it's just an unwanted effect for now. Thats why Graphics Gale and Photoshop are both great editors. I prefer Photoshop, but that's only because I have it. I'm sure people don't want to spend money on it, if theres something free.
