So it seems: We misunderstood meanings of the reporter: he may want Tahoma with size 8 has antialias "disabled". because his behavior actually did so. Or his success in 13.1 made him think the exclude range option in KDE does not have the edge value included, eg 0 <= range < 8, which is not the case. Or KDE changed their implementations from 13.1's version to 13.2's version. I need to investigate KDE's git commit logs to be sure. Marguerite. BTW: Even in TW and KDE Plasma 5, it still appends such settings to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf if you set up font rendering using System Settings. And the: <match target="font"> <test compare="more_eq" name="pixelsize" qual="any"> <double>0</double> </test> <test compare="less_eq" name="pixelsize" qual="any"> <double>11</double> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> is still appended too.
