This problem returned in BLFS 8.0 but with a twist as neither method I
used in 7.10 works. But deleting/renaming
/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf plus adding the following to
/etc/profile works:
export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35
cff:no-stem-darkening=1 autofitter:warping=1"
The above works only without /etc/fonts/local.conf.
Again, this is not a BLFS problem. It may be a freetype problem as the
freetype version changed between 7.10 and 8.0. It's posslble the
interpreter line added to /etc/profile will be unnecessary with the next
version. I hope.
I'm probably in the minority but I greatly prefer the lighter, crisper,
pre-10-hinting-slight.conf fonts. There may be other ways to achieve
them but the above method works well on my box.
