It’s readily apparent when text within a component is not antialiased, and there is no property provision for it. Personally I think all text should be antialiased, period. Saving a few clock cycles just isn’t worth it, when the net result is a 1980’s HMI look.

The new drawing package may make this request moot, but I just wanted to bring attention to it.

-Thanks
