How to disable font anti-aliasing everywhere in the UE 5.7.2 editor itself so the blurry fonts become crisp?

This is an accessibility request. There is no tag for “accessibility“, but essentially, I don’t have the vision I used to, and I need crisp non-smoothed fonts to use the UE5 editor, otherwise I need to take breaks often, and I’m considering switching to a different engine altogether if I can’t find a solution.

I’ve already seen the “Slate.EnanbleFontAntiAliasing 0“ command which does not work anymore on UE 5.7.2. I would rather have a simple checkbox for it in the Editor Preferences which would honestly be much better UX than having to google an undocumented flag.

I have all font smoothing disabled everywhere else Windows-wide, so it is definitely not my personal settings that are incorrect, it’s the UE5 GUI doing its own font smoothing. Please help me disable it so I can use it normally like every other app.
