Currently, the Krita text tool doesn't have an option to turn off anti-aliasing for fonts. For normal fonts, this isn't that big of a deal. However, pixel fonts get completely chewed up by the anti-aliasing.

Image

This is a 150dpi canvas with a 4pt pixel font on the 5.0.8 Arch Linux build of Krita. In other software that allows font aliasing, this creates a crisp, true pixel font. I use these pixel fonts for watermarking web-size images. It doesn't seem possible to get true-to-size pixel text in Krita right now without manually pixeling the letters or using another program to create a raster image of the text you want because of the automatic anti-aliasing applied to fonts.

The font in the screenshot is available for testing here: https://www.dafont.com/silkscreen.font

Thank you!
