Bug Description
grrrr.
So upgraded to Gimp 2.8 and now text antialaising is green.
Use white text on a black background to check it out.

This bug makes gimp completely unusable :( This is really urgent matter.

Gimp was working fine for a long time,
i cannot understand why the developers have introduced this "greenish font antialiasing" bug (or do they call it feature?) in the latest release.
I have been using Gimp in a production environment and now will be forced to switch to Photoshop as Gimp became absolutely useless the moment this glitchy version came out.
Please fix it as soon as possible, this report is almost 4 months old and nothing happened yet.

Here is a workaround for KDE (might work for others as well):
Turn off sub-pixel rendering (a.k.a. Cleartype)
Go to System Settings > Application Appearance > Fonts > Configure (Anti-aliasing)
disable sub-pixel rendering, restart gimp, problem goes away

Ubuntu, please tell your fontconfig package maintainer to check https:/

I just purged a ppa that I used to install the "infinality" font rendering,
sudo ppa-purge ppa:no1wantdthi
This solved the bug for me on Ubuntu 13.04, so I can go on using Gimp in my works.

The workaround in #5 worked for me (Kubuntu 14.04, KDE 4.14.2). I guess I'll have to remember to disable sub-pixel rendering before starting GIMP :(

I also have this problem on Netrunner 14 (based on Kubuntu 14.04). This workaround works perfectly :

I don't know if it's still happen on more recent version of Ubuntu, KDE, Gnome, etc... If anyone have more infos I will be glad to read them.

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/
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.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
