Package: fontconfig-config Version: 2.10.2-2 Followup-For: Bug #714279 I encountered the same problems. By fiddling some configuration bits, I was able to restore the previous "good" font rendering:
1. Fix the symlink for /etc/fonts/conf.d/11-lcdfilter-default.conf (it was pointing to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/, but the file is now in /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/. 2. Change "append" back to "assign" in contradiction to the comments in 10-autohint.conf, 10-subpixel-rgb.conf, and 11-lcdfilter-default.conf. 3. Run fc-cache -f and restart apps to get new configuration to be fully active. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9.2 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fontconfig-config depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii fonts-freefont-ttf [ttf-freefont] 20120503-1 ii gsfonts-x11 0.22 ii ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-8 ii ttf-dejavu-core 2.33+svn2514-3 ii ttf-freefont 20120503-1 ii ucf 3.0027 fontconfig-config recommends no packages. fontconfig-config suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * fontconfig/subpixel_rendering: Always * fontconfig/enable_bitmaps: false * fontconfig/hinting_type: Native -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
