First, to make sure this isn't a problem of font caching, type "fc-cache" (not
as root, as normal user) in a terminal window and logout and login again (to
be really sure restart X as well). If the problem didn't go away, read on:
The font settings in your new screenshot still look exactly the same as your
first one, so adjusting the settings didn't take any effect apparently. I'm
not familiar with the dialogs in Gnome so I can't help you with that. Or you
forgot to restart the application you took the screenshot in (note that in
firefox all separate windows must be closed).
The screenshot I'm asking for should still have hinting applied, so you
shouldn't turn that of. You can also keep antialiasing on (probably called
smoothing there). I only want to have a shot without the subpixel hinting (if
you zoom in in your screenshot, and see only gray pixels around the letters
and no colours, you found the way to do it well). I hope the Gnome dialogs
allow you to set specifically that though (if you have KDE installed, you can
set it in KControl). The only other alternative other than that is to edit
your fonts.conf file. If you do that you should have these lines in your
~/.fonts.conf:
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match>
I really can't get the "t" to look the same on my system either. I tried all
combinations of autohinter enabled/disabled and subpixel enabled/disabled, and
the "t" always has the horizontal bar extending to the left of the vertical
bar (like in the smaller font size in the left column of your thirds
screenshot).
The fact that this also suddenly appears with the 2.9 is also very strange,
because there were no changes made to it at all. Did you update other packages
as well, like FreeType ?
