Ok, I'll do some more testing and investigation myself as well.
Regarding the hinting, that clearly is a matter of taste. I think non-
aliased hinted fonts (8pt or 9pt) on a full HD screen look much better
(crisp and sharp) than aliased fonts at that size. Mind that I do alias
fonts bigger than 15
Ok. The thought I had was that the Kubuntu fonts dialog may not reflect
the actual rendering 100% correctly. I'm not claiming that's the case,
but I feel there is such a risk.
Anyway, I'm going to seek help to find out whether the changed behavior
of the Ubuntu font is by design, or if it is a bug
The very first conclusion was from applied Ubuntu/Ubuntu Mono on restart
of 23.04, the rest was mostly based on previews in the systemsettings
fonts dialog scaled up to 300%, except comment #12, which was Verdana
no-hinting applied.

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
alternative
I admit I'm also quite at a loss, though the overall feeling is a loss
of functionality (hence the report). For me, hinted Liberation Sans
renders perfect on 22.04 (and 22.10 for what it's worth) but looks
horrible on 23.04, see comment #17. There is no font version difference
on both releases.
An
@mrvanes: I tested with Liberation Sans and Verdana on Ubuntu with
GNOME. My notes:
* I can confirm that Verdana honors the font hinting, both on 23.04 and
22.04.
* I can confirm that Liberation Sans ignores the font hinting on 23.04.
However, I see the very same behavior on 22.04. The difference
@mrvanes: You missed one aspect of my observations for the Ubuntu font.
* On Ubuntu 22.04 font hinting works to start with. If I upgrade to the
fonts-ubuntu 0.863-0ubuntu3 package there, the rendering happens
irrespective of the font hinting value.
* On Ubuntu 23.04 font hinting is broken to star
@mrvanes, could you check fontconfig-config?
Maybe this issue is configuration-related?

Downgrading (lib)fontconfig* to 2.13 doesn't help as well. I'm running
out of ideas.

Neither downgrading freetype to 2.12.1 dfsg-3 nor upgrading to self
compiled 2.13 resolves the problem. Back to the drawing board.
