just updated from v21.3 to v22 and i noticed the system fonts are not what they used to be.

in general, they are thinner, a little bigger and much more blurry than before, here are some samples

#

is this a known issue? it is definitely different than before and much worse in my opinion

#

here is comparing with a screenshot from last week, left is before right is after

#

there is rgb antialiasing even if i have grayscale set in the other image above

#

characters are about 1px taller

#

and also wider

install ubuntu classic font

#

and then set it.

#

I barely tell a damn difference from your pics, but install it if u want.

hey, did that just now, it required a reboot and the font size now matches perfectly with before

#

but there is still the rbg antialiasing even though i've configured it to use grayscale in the fonts settings

#

hmm it is indeed grayscale like i wanted in native applications and the terminal, but webpages in firefox/chromium and things like vscode and discord which are electron based are using rbg antialiasing

fixed it by creating this file at ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <match target="font">
        <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
            <const>grey</const>
        </edit>
    </match>
</fontconfig>

bottom is before, top is after
