NOTE: This is fixed in newer versions of Anki 2.1. This addon is only needed for people who use old versions of Anki 2.1.
Fixes the lack of subpixel anti-aliasing on Anki 2.1 by overriding the color set as QWebEnginePage’s background. Vanilla Anki 2.1 uses Qt.transparent, which prevents subpixel anti-aliasing from working.
Exact background color is configurable.
Before:
After:
Should apply to all platforms that support subpixel text filtering.

Anki 2.1.35 on MacOS - without addon the issue is still present.

Default Text rendering on Anki’s Linux version sucks @$$. This add on is still useful. Using it on version 2.1.30, and it makes fonts glorious.

Edit: I just submitted a PR for this to Anki → https://github.com/dae/anki/pull/287. Please feel free to leave a comment there to be credited properly (I wasn’t able to find any attribution or copyright info within the add-on, unfortunately).
I can confirm that this also works on Linux (Kubuntu 18.04). You should really consider filing this as a pull request to Anki proper. Even if it is platform-specific (i.e. only turns out to work on Linux and Windows), it still makes sense to apply it by

I can really see the impact of this addon. Definitely needs to be merged into Anki.

Seems to work on macOS to! Good stuff. Although to be honest I didn’t even know it was broken. Might be because of my retina screen.
