New comment by andry-dev on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/21429#issuecomment-666272488 Comment: I may be a bit biased (since I'm the author of the patch), but I agree with @mvf. When I made the patch I had lcdfilter in my `~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf` so nothing looked weird for me; shipping a system-wide config file would fix it for everyone. I noticed that lots of people on Arch install the patched `fontconfig-cleartype` package from the AUR. Since major distros use it, nobody complains about their font rendering, the font rendering is (IMHO) actually better with it and the fix is just to ship a config file, I think this is a valuable patch that should be kept. It's my fault for not noticing the need for a system-wide config at the time.
