--- Comment #9 from Bertrand Petit <bsdpr@phoe.frmug.org> ---
(In reply to J.R. Oldroyd from comment #7)
Configuration files in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d are evaluated sequential=
ly
according to the ascending numerical order of the two digits integer prefix=
ing
the filenames stored in this directory. User's configuration files are load=
ed
by the 50-user.conf file. Thus, the contents of any file whose number is la=
rger
that 50 forcibly overwrite settings done by the user, that is the case for
90-classiclooks_qt5fontfix.conf.

Since the settings done by that file are heavy handed I recommend to either=
 1)
rename it to 19-classiclooks_qt5fontfix.conf (it fits into the 10 to 19 ran=
ge,
called "system rendering defaults"); or 2) install it into
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail, again with a 19 prefix number, to inhibit =
its
effects until the user decide to enable it by moving it to the conf.d
directory. Whichever option you choose will be OK for me since the effects =
will
be reversible for 1) or not present at all by default for 2).

As for the difference between the two images: please look closely to the cu=
rved
sections of the rendered word, edges are colored, the unaffected rendering =
is
monochrome. The colored version looks more blurry to me, especially at smal=
ler
sizes. Adding blur to an already myopic vision is not a positive effect. We=
 all
have different visual system performances, the colored version probably look
better to other people I'm unfit to judge. I think we should not force one
rendering method over another because of these biological differences.
