--- Comment #1 from alexhultman@gmail.com --- Here is my initial report against GNOME: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707777
However, it's not a GNOME bug. Changing the default font hinting to slight is one proposed solution. See the GNOME bug report for more information, discussion and some rendered samples showing the difference from freetype-2.4 to freetype-2.5.
Thanks.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035486
--- Comment #3 from alexhultman@gmail.com --- That would be a good start at least. But is it possible to assign hintslight per rasterizer instead of per font name? All OpenType fonts are fuzzy with the current hinting in freetype 2.5 with Adobe's new rasterizer for OpenType merged. However, as Cantarell is such a large part of the experience of Fedora I would love to have that font fixed at least. Can this land in time for Fedora 20?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035486
--- Comment #4 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- For f20, no. final change deadline has been gone and GA is coming soon. plus, that change may possibly affects a lot of fonts and it would be risky to do from now.
You can try:
<match target="font"> <test name="fontformat" compare="eq"> <string>CFF</string> </test> <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match>
instead. that may needs to be tested widely in f21 development timeframe and get a feedback on it because how it looks like is subjective. that said having this kinda recipe per fonts are our policy in Fedora and that would be safe to make any changes. so if you are aware of any other issues, that would be good to file a bug against that problematic font packages unless this kinda changes is needed for a lot of packages.

This seems like a good solution -> getting all CFF fonts covered instead of having to enter rules for every single font. I don't know how to test this and I'm still on Fedora 19 but it seems legit?

Unfortunately no, you can't. matching on fontformat has been implemented in 2.11.0 (strictly speaking from the devel snapshot of 2.10.94) and not yet planning to push an update for f19 or older. so you need to try it on f20 at this moment.

--- Comment #8 from alexhultman@gmail.com --- No no, I'm not talking about trying this on Fedora 19 (the whole point of this bug report is that Fedora 19 already have perfectly sharp text). I was kind of wondering if you had written "pseudo code" or actually legit config that works.
How do I test this? Where do I put that config, in what files and how?

I could be wrong, but I think assigning hintstyle in fontconfig is overrided by gnome-settings-daemon/XSETTINGS. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11838
I'm coming at this from the opposite direction (like fuzzy fonts, want hintmedium for CFF and hintslight for everything else). It seems like the crux of the issue is that with the new CFF rasterizer, CFF fonts are fuzzy at medium hinting and sharp at slight hinting, which is the opposite of all the other fonts.

--- Comment #17 from Daniel L. daniell1@t-online.de --- I've just upgraded two machines to F20 and now see this on both of them :( Most fonts are looking applicable with slight hinting. Changing the hinting with gnome-tweak-tool to medium or full reduces sharpness!
Please, can anyone change the urgency to high as this is an embarrassing issue for a distro like Fedora?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035486
--- Comment #18 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- just FYI, aside from XSETTINGS issue, abattiscantarell-fonts has a trick in 31-cantarell.conf to fallback to other fonts due to the glyph coverage in Cantarell font maybe with replacing the family name as the weak binding. for this reason, it may depends on the language how it works:
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 fc-match Cantarell Cantarell-Regular.otf: "Cantarell" "Regular" $ LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 fc-match Cantarell VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf: "VL Pゴシック" "regular"

just FYI, there are a comment from FreeType maintainer in the list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2014-January/005073.html
That's interesting. I really like the dark, thick look of CFF fonts with medium hinting as they are now in F20, it's just the inconsistency with non-CFF fonts at the same hinting. If they're talking about changing the rendering internally, rather than swapping hint styles around for CFF, I'd like to be able to set it back somehow.
Sorry if what I'm saying is already known or isn't an issue - just wanted to provide some representation in this bug for people who like dark fuzzy fonts.
Also, from that link: "Given that the current version of the Cantarell fonts has broken hinting ..." I'm not sure about that, because Adobe's Source Sans Pro and Source Code Pro fonts (which are also .otf) look similar to Cantarell for me (fuzzy at hintmedium, thin at hintslight).

This bug report is not about whether you like fuzzy fonts or not - the point of this report is that the look of the render has changed, without there being any discussion about actually changing the look. It's an unwanted change, or regression if you want. Having fuzzier fonts should be discussed, not just happen out of nowhere. I for one, hate fuzzy fonts. And I think most people agree because we have had sharp text since the dawn of time.

That is hard to read from your initial statement. if that is the point, complaining that to fontconfig makes no sense because fontconfig isn't a rendering library and also complaining that here won't happens anything at all because freetype maintainer isn't in the loop of the discussion so that this looks like a Fedora specific issue. though Bugzilla isn't a better place to discuss the kind of that.

I'm not sure for fonts. for fontconfig, I think there are nothing we can do at this moment unless this is a common problem for all of CFF fonts. I'm asking about it here and on other bugs too, but apparently no one is giving me any answers for that. so if this is Cantarell specific, it should be worked around in it rather than in fontconfig. this is why I reassigned this to the font.

But upgrading from F23 to F24 changes something that makes the autohinter screw things up for "i" and "j" in sub-pixel mode. Unfortunately you cannot override the rgba hinting for just one font as Gtk's settings trumps the fontconfig ones. :/

--- Comment #39 from Fedora End Of Life jkurik@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
