Hi Uli,
All of the packages you mentioned were updated. (pango, fontconfig,
freetype) I'm using the lcd-filtering overlay for the infinality font
rendering patches to both freetype + fontconfig. My ~/.fonts.conf has not
changed though.
fc-match MonteCarlo returns
montecarlomedium.bdf "MonteCarlo" "Sans"
I changed the font to "Dina" as an experiment, and it did switch fonts. It
looked just as bad though.
Thanks for helping,
-Alan
