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 render correctly hinted EXCEPT the Microsoft fonts, of which Verdana and Tahoma are the most famous examples.
So the problem is not restricted to Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono, those are just a examples of the fonts that I used before and that don't correctly hint anymore, but there's many more (all except MS?) that now lack proper hinting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2017573 Title: Font hinting broken on 23.04 Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: Incomplete 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.
