The problem I'm referring to has nothing to do with fuzzy-fonts or with Cantarell.  Please read the following bug-report and article that describes the problem I'm referring to.  The problem affects a very wide variety of fonts and how they're rendered in web-browsers. Using desktop environment tools such as gnome-tweak-tool does not fix the problems.

[2] http://worldofgnome.org/how-to-greatly-improve-font-rendering-under-fedora-20/ 

I'm just looking for more information and some indication that the problem can be fixed eliminating the need for external scripts or manual configuration.

Actually, we can change the Cantarell fontconfig file to instruct the system to
only use slight autohinting on that font, thus making it not-fuzzy and very

If you follow my trail of bug reports and e-mails you'll see I have invested a lot of time in the cause of this and the only workarounds I found were the ones I listed for Alex. Hinting with the Adobe engine is broken no matter what setting you choose.


If it's really broken it should be removed upstream.
Nevertheless, it's not broken here if I set it to slight, therefor your argument is invalid.
