It seems odd gimp doesn't override the system and user's configuration of the rgba attribute to none, e.g. by providing a /etc/gimp/2.0/fonts.conf, e.g. https://gist.github.com/csaez/5d8286b134266e51c6cb76fd218d1d5d
If they think that a user might want to produce a PNG with rgba set for a particular sub-pixel layout then they could have a UI choice on the text-tool's options, just as they currently have anti-alias to override the system and user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010421 Title: Text antialiasing is green.....
