No font antialiasing in FreeOffice?

Post by FreeOffice_User_2025 »

Hello everyone!
I've recently switched from LibreOffice to FreeOffice on my Windows 10 system. I like the slick design, small installation size, and nearly perfect compatibility with MS Office files.
However, I've noticed that FreeOffice appears to lack text antialiasing. In the example video, I used Arial Black font at 300-point size. The text had noticeable jagged edges when rendered at that size in FreeOffice.
Interestingly, the font became a lot smoother when I reduced the slide zoom level to below 70%. In contrast, LibreOffice has font smoothing working consistently, regardless of the zoom level in its UI.
Is it possible to improve font antialiasing in FreeOffice so that it behaves more like LibreOffice in this regard? I'd really appreciate any advice or solutions you can offer.

Such behavior also occurs during a slideshow in Presentations: after a certain font size, antialiasing gets deactivated.

Comparison screenshots:
1920x1080, 100% DPI scale, Raleway Medium font at 151pt - font smoothing works properly
1920x1080, 100% DPI scale, Raleway Medium font at 152pt - font smoothing is gone


Is this the intended behavior for FreeOffice? If so, can it be disabled so that font smoothing would work for all font sizes and page/slide scale factors?
