I made some changes to this bug report, such as replacing fontconfig
with plasma-desktop as the affected package. While I'm not sure about
that either, it's a way to call the Kubuntu developers' attention to the
issue.

I was trying to be as complete as possible in my bugreport but I just
checked and there is no difference under X11 (same issue).

Thanks again.
You mentioned "under Wayland". Does that mean that the issue is not
present if you log in to a Plasma (X11) session instead of a Plasma
(Wayland) one?

This is what Verdana without hinting looks like, so it's clear that
hinting setting has influence on rendering of Verdana font, but doesn't
on other fonts.

See attachment for clarification of bad/broken hinting.
In this example I'm using Verdana (correctly full hinted) to display the dialog
and choose Ubuntu Mono to be previewed (incorrectly full hinted)

No I think it's somehow deeper. Plasma honours the configuration, but
the hinting for certain fonts is broken. Correctly hinted fonts should
nicely follow pixels on a resolution restricted display. That is no
longer the case and results in ugly rendered fonts. See attachment from

For me it's not. Wonder why.

Right, it should be, because that file path is not deprecated.
Thanks for clarifications.
Then, if I understand it correctly, the problem is specific t
It's written to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf and it certainly is
used. I test by re-launching systemsettings. If I remove the file, fonts
are rendered using the system default (anti-aliased). Saving my settings
creates this file and uses the contents (anti-alias exclude range + full
hinting) on
I had a look in a Kubuntu 23.04 install I have in a VM, and it looks
like changes via the KDE UI for managing fonts alters the file
~/.fonts.conf. If that is the way you do it, can you please attach your
~/.fonts.conf file to this bug report.
The ~/.fonts-conf file has been considered deprecated f
So, the idea is that I set anti-Aliasing to exclude 8pt to 15pt and set
hinting to full. This makes the desktop fonts render crisp and sharp,
which used to work for all fonts having decent hints, among which were
e.g. Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono (but a lot more fonts have this). Now, none

Ok, thanks. You said "I use full hinting". Are you referring to some
custom font configuration?
I'm asking because I'm not aware of any general Ubuntu changes with
respect to hinting. And the file names of the Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono
font files were changed.

This is about the context in de Plasma desktop. My fonts were set to
Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono and I use full hinting where anti-aliasing is
disabled to get crisp and clear fonts. This is now broken in 23.04 and
can be worked around using Verdana.

Thanks for your report!
I recall a couple of fonts related changes and issues. Since you mention
the Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono fonts, they were indeed upgraded.
But to start with it would be good if you could let us know the exact
context where you see that hinting has changed. Is it in connection w
