It feels like some of the recent (2 weeks ago or less) snapshots has changed the way Qt(?) applications render fonts -- now they resemble Infinality patches with a thick configuration.
As an example, here are side-to-side GTK and Qt pavucontrol versions.[0]
The GTK version has the fonts rendered like they used to be rendered all the time.
What has changed, and can it be brought back?

pavucontrol appears the same for me that it has for several years. pavucontrol-3.0-2.6.x86_64
It's not about the pavucontrol per se. All Plasma and [as it seems, all] Qt apps behave like that. Pavucontrol has a Qt port, so it was used to demonstrate the visual difference.
I cannot look at a gtk version as I use plasma/kde and don't have one installed.
Well, pavucontrol only provides GTK GUI. The Qt one is pavucontrol-qt-0.14.1-1.3.
ok, appears I have neither, only pavucontrol-3.0-2.6.x86_64 I make *major* use of "zypper -v dup --no-r"
you neglected to say what version you use which may, or may not make a difference. mine is Tw.
Tumbleweed 20190621.
same
fwiw: I have not witnessed *any* changes in font appearances for quite some length of time.
OK, then my Fonts (as in Plasma System Settings) configuration is: antialiasing: enabled subpixel: rgb hinting: full font family: noto sans (except monospace)
antialiasing: Vendor default noto sans except fixed width
