Text in Tif files is "different" in 2.10

I can replicate the tif from an old drawing but the only thing I can suggest. When adding text, enable layer legacy mode and disable anti-aliasing in the text tools.

This using a typical AutoCad font.  https://i.imgur.com/80QuWtG.jpg note it is in indexed colour mode

Next question. What format are you exporting the image in to get that fringing? Full details please not just jpg / png / tiff ... I have seen that effect before but I cannot remember where at the moment.

Actually, these were scanned with a large format professional scanner. These are B size and above technical drawings. And as previously stated, I've been working with these files for six years and never encountered this issue until I upgraded to 2.10.

I've already disabled anti-aliasing and that's not helping much. 

When I open the tif file and added text, that's how it looks when I'm editing it. This does not occur after export - it occurs while editing

The tifs are indexed, LZW saved in 1bit B&W mode. I've been using these settings from the get-go. 

But again, nothing has changed on my end with the exception of upgrading to 2.10.

Looks like sub-pixel rendering. There seems to be a fix at least on Linux:

I did see that and added it to my fonts.conf file. We'll see what happens.
