Re: Coloured character borders in kterm

Just for info, I managed to downgrade libfreetype6 and fontconfig to
2.11.1+dfsg-1 and the problem persists.

Hello Sven!

I removed both simlinks but no effect at all, exactly the same rainbow
colored characters, most noticeable with dark background (Kterm)

It is due to new settings in fontconfig-config, especially the symlinks
10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf and 10-yes-antialias.conf in /etc/fonts/conf.d.
Try removing the first of these, and if you are still not satisfied with
the result, the second as well.

After that fonts should look the same as before, except that the default
family is now Noto rather than DejaVu, see https://bugs.debian.org/1028643.

Here is the apt log for january 13 and 14

Plenty of packages with something to do with fonts and rendering.
libfreetype6
libfontembed1
fonts-wine
libtiff6
and so on.

And now these packages landed in Testing, packages due to upgrade in my 
system, among others:

  libfreetype-dev
  libfreetype6
  libfreetype6-dev
  libfreetype6:i386
  libgcc-11-dev
  libgl-dev
  libgl1
  libgl1:i386
  libgles-dev
  libgles1
  libgles2

I think I will hold fire upgrading these packages, see what happens.
