+			If set to [code]true[/code], MSDF font rendering will be used for the visual shader graph editor. You may need to set this to [code]false[/code] when using a custom main font, as some fonts will look broken due to the use of self-intersecting outlines in their font data. Downloading the font from the font maker's official website as opposed to a service like Google Fonts can help resolve this issue.

 			FreeType's font anti-aliasing mode used to render the editor fonts. Most fonts are not designed to look good with anti-aliasing disabled, so it's recommended to leave this enabled unless you're using a pixel art font.
