@Dmitriy: Thanks for your input. However, I think that your observation reasonably is something else.
Changing font rendering options in Tweaks results in changed dconf values, for instance: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-hinting 'full' That's only seen in applications (the core GNOME desktop ones) which query those dconf values. It does not try to change the fontconfig behavior system wide. Kubuntu, OTOH, does change the fontconfig behavior, since it actually does the equivalent of what you achieve through your workaround. So what you call a workaround is a sensible way to change the font configuration system wide. Tweaks is not designed to do that AFAIK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2017573 Title: Font hinting broken on Plasma 23.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop/+bug/2017573/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
