Patching freetype-2.9 restored excellent lcdfilter rendering, so no complaints there, but what fonts should be the defaults? Once upon a time I created /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-post-user.conf to override the default families. In 15.0 that wasn't sufficient, so I copied 57-post-user.conf to 55-post-user.conf and 59-post-user.conf, which fixed it, but I since changed from copies to hard links. Certainly one of the three ought to be sufficient. I simply haven't taken the time to find out which.
57-post-user.conf was a copy of what is now: /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-family-prefer.conf which is a symlink to /usr/share/fonts-config/conf.avail/60-family-prefer.conf
The copy I made is simply a rearrangement that puts my preference at the top of each of the three lists it contains.
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/51-local.conf is the first one I made in 2007 http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/57-post-user.conf is the 2012 version I'm still using.
Thank you Felix, I'll work to sort those out. If you are interested, I've attached the patches that restore original rendering behavior. You can just add them to the current freetype2-2.9 build and then apply then P1 in the spec. It is well worth the 1 minute it takes to rebuild the package and restores the full range of adjusts available. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
