@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

Neither downgrading freetype to 2.12.1 dfsg-3 nor upgrading to self

I know Ubuntu font underwent changes in 23.04 but comment #17 was
explicitly added to discharge any suspicion towards that change. It's
NOT only Ubuntu font that hints incorrectly when hinting is enabled. All
fonts that looked great in 22.04 are now horribly rendered in 23.04,
like e.g. Liberation
And this is the picture I talked about.

Thanks for being picky.
I did a more thorough test on Ubuntu (with GNOME). I focused on the
Ubuntu font, disabled antialiasing, tested with hining "none" respective
"full", and studied the rendering of a particular string in GNOME's
Settings menu.
Conclusion: fonts-ubuntu 0.863 — unlike fonts-ubu
