Well, the discussion at this bug report has indeed mentioned quite a few other font rendering aspects. We would need a font expert to sort it. But as regards the fonts-ubuntu bug task we *might* now have the answer, i.e. not a bug. @mrvanes: What do you think? Do we have a reasonable explanation with respect to fonts-ubuntu and hinting? If not, you may want to chime in at the upstream issue which Sebastien pointed at. -- 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: Confirmed 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.
