Ok. The thought I had was that the Kubuntu fonts dialog may not reflect the actual rendering 100% correctly. I'm not claiming that's the case, but I feel there is such a risk.
Anyway, I'm going to seek help to find out whether the changed behavior of the Ubuntu font is by design, or if it is a bug. As regards other fonts which more or less seem to ignore the fonts hinting value, I don't know right now. As regards Liberation Sans I couldn't confirm a regression. Myself normally uses the defaults with respect to hinting and antialiasing, and that works ok for me. When accomplishing some tests with antialiasing disabled, I couldn't help wondering what the point is with doing so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-ubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2017573 Title: Font hinting broken on 23.04 Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Just upgraded my laptops to Kubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster and hinting for all non-commercial fonts seems broken. I used to have decent if not perfect hinting on Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono font, but now the only fonts that still hint correctly are Microsoft's Verdana and Tahoma etc. Not sure whether the devide is exactly along this line, but it stands out. Tried regenerating font cache (fc-cache -rv) but that didn't help.
