--- Comment #5 from Peter Bieringer <pb(a)bieringer.de> ---
Hi, thank you for all the details.
I hope freetype team had a very valid reason why they changed the default
behavior - imho this can cause a bunch of unhappy users.
The only good thing is that old behavior can be permanently enabled by e.g.
cat <<END >/etc/profile.d/LOCAL-freetype.sh
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35"
export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES
END
until the old interpreter version disappears in code...but perhaps until then
the next improved "default" appears.
Or you can have a look whether a newer set of fonts would suit you
better with the default hinting engine
Are there any suggestions already around which "newer set of font" is more
compatible to new hinting engine...or has community wait now until first
"compatible font" appears...
I've tested mostly all previously on fc25 installed and therefore on fc26
updated fonts, all look ugly.
I personally not a fan of all the antialiasing stuff (for normal desktop
displays)...it reminds me to old CRT times and implicit unsharp fonts before
LCD (with sharp fonts) become common use - looks like times are rolling back.
