Hello

The defaults in 10-hinting-slight.conf introduced in version 2.11.95 lead to
really bad/different looking fonts on Arch Linux in several applications e.g.
terminal.

A lot of people are complaining and having problems with this, see the Arch
Linux forum:

- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=211045
- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=209687

Note that the slowness discussed in the second thread is another (seemingly
fixed) issue.

Someone there also mentioned this commit as the culprint:
98434b3392172233094cac25ade7225c93da9f1c.

It would be great if this could be reverted to the old behaviour.

Thanks
