If I were to start making a pixel-art game with the Godot engine, what options do I have for removing the filtering or anti-aliasing from text?
EDIT:
I want to know how to remove the AA from rendered text in a label node.
Disabling anti-aliasing in DynamicFont isn't supported in Godot 3.0, but it's possible in 3.1 beta (which also makes it possible to tweak font hinting).
To do so, you need to create a DynamicFont as usual, load a TTF or OTF file into its Font Data property, edit the Font Data resource, set the desired anti-aliasing/hinting settings then save the font data resource as a .tres
file. (Otherwise, those settings won't be preserved when you exit the editor or launch the project.)
You can customize your image import setting in godot 3.0+. Here is how from the Godot documentation :
Godot Docs 3.0+ : Importing Images
In the basic UI, when you select an image you can change tab to the import settings :
(Taken from the doc)
Here you can change several options to customize how your images are imported into Godot.
For pixel art, you can disable Filter and Mimaps for example.
PS : This solution works for Godot 3.0+, for Godot 2.1+ you can go to the corresponding documentation : Godot Docs 2.1+ : Managing image files. As you are stating you want to start a new game, it is recommended to use the latest (3.0+) version of Godot.
