Originally created by @gim913 on GitHub (Oct 16, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: ersion 10.0.19041.572
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal Preview Version: 1.4.2652.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clear type turned off
  2. Smoothing of font edges turned off

image

Expected behavior

Add an ability to turn of antialiasing completely within windows terminal.
Currently antialiasingMode takes only following values:
Accepts: "grayscale", "cleartype", "aliased"

Actual behavior

Even with both clear type turned off and font smoothing turned off,
windows terminal is using own antialiasing mechanism, that doesn't allow "NONE/NO" option.

Compare same font in cmd vs windows terminal (bottom one is wanted/expected)

Did you perhaps try the aliased setting? You know, the anti-anti-aliasing mode?

Now I feel silly. Indeed, setting to aliased makes it work.

I've tried all 3 modes earlier, and it didn't seem like they were working.
After re-reading the docs it's clear why, I haven't restarted the terminal when changing that value.

Thank you, very, very much ❤️
