You should just add
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0"as an environment variable, and use waylandWhat does that do?
The environment variable enables stem darkening(a font rendering technique), and wayland is noticeably better at scaling
Everytime I think I know something about linux someone else comes along and starts speaking magic.
If youre not on debian stable and kde.
Why?
Its a dumpsterfire. Wayland bugs out every time I (and others) unlock the screen and displays no fonts or giant fonts or whatever. After asking on linux.org and other places, the answer was "do not use wayland on debian stable + kde yet, its not ready".
„Debian stable” -- Unstable don't use it
Something like that, yes. Especially on nvidia I think.
