https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D268668 --- 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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
