Hi, Ubuntu 23.04 has a regression in hinted font rendering and possibly RGB subpixel rendering. I already tried replacing libfreetype with the last known good version of 22.10 and compiled 2.13.0 to see if that made any improvements but it didn't (as far as I can tell).
I do understand that distro specific issues are not FreeType's concern but both Ubuntu developers and other contributors to the issue (including me) are failing to understand what's happing and why e.g. MS's Verdana is rendered using perfect hinting? Could anyone knowledgeable about font rendering and hinting have a look at this issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-ubuntu/+bug/2017573 Best regards, Martin
