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
I cannot look at a gtk version as I use plasma/kde and don't have one
installed.
you neglected to say what version you use which may, or may not make a
difference. mine is Tw.
fwiw: I have not witnessed *any* changes in font appearances for quite
some length of time.

Qt apps behave like that. Pavucontrol has a Qt port, so it was used to
demonstrate the visual difference.

Well, pavucontrol only provides GTK GUI. The Qt one is
pavucontrol-qt-0.14.1-1.3.

OK, then my Fonts (as in Plasma System Settings) configuration is:
antialiasing: enabled
subpixel: rgb
hinting: full
font family: noto sans (except monospace)
% xrdb -query -all | grep -i xft
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.rgba: rgb

Then it's on my side. I'll try a few things (maybe it's the default new
lcdfilter). Just needed to be sure it's not a global change.

I don't think it's required by any package on a Plasma desktop (since
there is KMix and more). I once got used to its interface, and it works,
so I always use it regardless of the environment.
