[Bug 2017573] Re: Font hinting broken on 23.04

 

Yes, Liberation Sans was last built on Ubuntu 3+ years ago before the
20.04 release, so we know that it's the very same font in the various
releases.

May I ask: Did you draw conclusions from the preview field in the fonts
selection window only, or did you continue and saw the different
alternatives in a real-world context, so to speak?

When I tested on Ubuntu I actually made the fonts changes in Tweaks.
Then I opened GNOME's Settings menu (Settings is one of the tools which
query the related dconf values), took a screenshot of a specific string
there, and used Gimp to scale it up to 600%.

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.
