The Cantarell desktop font seems to be skinnier than its predecessor
and the byte code interpreter now enabled in the freetype package also
has some influence.
Moreover, the text colour is some shade of grey instead of black, thus
in order to increase the contrast I have changed some values in (a
local copy of) /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, namely:

@define-color text_color #000000; /* #2e3436; */
@define-color fg_color #000000; /* #2e3436; */

You may want to edit some other parameters but I found these two sufficient. ~C
