Why does the menu/HUD font look blurry?

Since the release of Doomsday Engine some years back,
the original font in the menu and in the HUD look similar as if smart filtering was applied.
Why is that? Is that intentional? Are all textures affected by that, or is it only the font?
NO, I DON'T use smart filtering.

My only concern is that this kind of effect is applied everywhere, even when using hi-res textures just less noticeable.
Thank you

  • The menu fonts are treated as a special case and smart filtering is used. No other textures are smart filtered by default.
  • Hello DaniJ
    Glad to hear this is only applied on the menu font.
    Any chance to disable the filter or is it hard applied to the font texture?
    I know it's picky but I like the original font, if anything at all. I'm using the HD replaces from JDRP and JDUI (JDRP by it's own doesn't replace the message and some status fonts, putting JDUI in front of the loading order takes care of them)

    As long as the other textures are unaffected, by the effect I can live with that
