Dear all, fontconfig made slight hinting the default in version 2.11.95 (see commit at [1]).
xenocara currently ships, but does not install the new hinting conf files: $ cd /usr/xenocara/dist/fontconfig/conf.d/ $ for file in *conf; do if ! test -f /etc/fonts/conf.avail/$file; then echo "$file not found"; fi; done 10-hinting-full.conf not found 10-hinting-medium.conf not found 10-hinting-none.conf not found 10-hinting-slight.conf not found The patch below installs the missing files and makes slight hinting the default. Any comments?
