Subject: [gentoo-user] freetype-2.3.3 messed up my desktop

Hi All,
Just updated my laptop and noticed that freetype-2.3.3 was installed.
Restarted xorg and the font size and legibility of X apps changed for the
worse. The fonts are now considerably smaller, anti-aliasing makes them look
really blurred, fixed-width font in Kmail is shown grey(!), etc.
Am I the only one that had this unwelcome (in my case) change? I tried
removing anti-aliasing for fonts 06-12ps, but then they looked rather jagged
and extremely wiry (too thin). I'd rather didn't change everything to bold,
but fear that in five minutes I am going to get a migraine due to eye
strain! :)
Is this the way it is supposed to look?
PS. In reality it looks more blurred that the attached picture, probably
because of the low quality of the monitor.

Regards,
Mick
