Bug ID: 476439
Summary: Changing fonts in KDE System Settings will force
hinting to true in .fonts.conf when desired result is
false.
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.26.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_fonts
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Changing fonts in KDE System Settings will force hinting to true in .fonts.conf
when desired result is false.
Likely regression of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105797
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have hinting manually set to "false" in .fonts.conf
2. Change fonts in KDE System Settings
OBSERVED RESULT
.fonts.conf now displays "true" for hinting.
EXPECTED RESULT
.fonts.conf to stay as "false" for hinting if I manually defined it in the
file.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: SteamOS 3.4.11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-valve37-1-neptune (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
With the fonts I generally use and with a certain amount of understanding of
how Freetype (and also the associated QT bug of always forcing AA except in
some apps/areas) works, I get the best text rendering results with: hinting
false, hintstyle hintfull, rgba rgb, antialias false. These 4 settings will
render well like on Windows. Using hinting true will make the fonts look worse
with the remaining 3 declarations. This is why I prefer hinting false.
