[Bug 2017573] Re: Font hinting broken on 23.04

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your report!

I recall a couple of fonts related changes and issues. Since you mention
the Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono fonts, they were indeed upgraded.

But to start with it would be good if you could let us know the exact
context where you see that hinting has changed. Is it in connection with
rendering web pages, or is it about the font used in menus etc. on the
desktop?

Please clarify.

** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

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.
