I want to globally disable font smoothing for all text entries within figures, since smoothed text looks very poor on my display.

I tried:

set(groot, 'DefaultTextFontSmoothing', 'off');
set(groot, 'DefaultAxesFontSmoothing', 'off');

which seems to work for xlabel(), title(), etc. but not for the text within legends.

I am using Matlab R2015a.

function [leg,labelhandles,outH,outM] = legend2(varargin)
% function [leg,labelhandles,outH,outM] = legend2(varargin)
% quite possibly the stupidest code i ever had to hack-up to get around a matlab stupidity.
% call 'legend2' instead of 'legend' to remove the noisy font smoothing.
% still can't figure out how to remove the graphicssmoothing, however.
% 2019may31 ~bcoe
if isempty(varargin)
    help(mfilename)
    return
end
[leg,labelhandles,outH,outM] = legend(varargin{:});
for ii=1:length(leg.ItemText)
    leg.ItemText(ii).FontSmoothing='off';
    % leg.ItemTokens(ii).graphicssmoothing='off'; %still trying to kill linesmoothing
end

call 'legend2' instead of 'legend'... (-sigh-)

Hi HoBe,

In order to turn off the font smoothing of a legend, you can set the FontSmoothing property of a text object that is a child of the legend. For example:

plot(1:10)
[h,objs] = legend('one')
objs(1).FontSmoothing='off'

Since the legend is no longer a child of the axis, changing the FontSmoothing property of the axis does not have any impact on the legend. Hope this helps!

Hi Cindy,

thanks for your answer. This solution works for me as a workaround. However, is there a way to turn off font smoothing of legends on a global level? I would expect that

set(groot, 'DefaultTextFontSmoothing', 'off');

should do the job, but it does not.
