This is what Verdana without hinting looks like, so it's clear that hinting setting has influence on rendering of Verdana font, but doesn't on other fonts. ** Attachment added: "no-hinting.png"

See attachment for clarification of bad/broken hinting. In this example I'm using Verdana (correctly full hinted) to display the dialog and choose Ubuntu Mono to be previewed (incorrectly full hinted) ** Attachment added: "hinting.png"

No I think it's somehow deeper. Plasma honours the configuration, but the hinting for certain fonts is broken. Correctly hinted fonts should nicely follow pixels on a resolution restricted display. That is no longer the case and results in ugly rendered fonts. See attachment from the first post

It's written to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf and it certainly is used. I test by re-launching systemsettings. If I remove the file, fonts are rendered using the system default (anti-aliased). Saving my settings creates this file and uses the contents (anti-alias exclude range + full hinting) on

So, the idea is that I set anti-Aliasing to exclude 8pt to 15pt and set hinting to full. This makes the desktop fonts render crisp and sharp, which used to work for all fonts having decent hints, among which were e.g. Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono (but a lot more fonts have this). Now, none of the fonts

This is about the context in de Plasma desktop. My fonts were set to Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono and I use full hinting where anti-aliasing is disabled to get crisp and clear fonts. This is now broken in 23.04 and can be worked around using Verdana. -- You received this bug notification because you

Yes, creating /var/lock/sane resolves the problem (for me) in 1.0.31. The problem is that /var/lock is a temp fs under Debian/Ubuntu and thus should be recreated on every boot, instead of once during installation (or by sane on startup). -- You received this bug notification because you are a

Both current master and 1.0.31 work like a charm when I compile them myself, dynamic and static loaded backend. So there's not much to bisect for me? If I relink the packaged libsane-plustek.so.1 to my compiled version in /usr/local/lib everything also works (with the packaged scanimage). --
