is it just me or since one of the latest gnome updates font smoothing got noticeably better?
I use the following fonts config, but a couple of days ago small fonts (especially bold ones) weren't so good.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Am I crazy?

Can show us screenshot if possible?
Did you consider using AUR packages infinality or ubuntu freetype?

I swear smoothing wasn't this good a couple of days ago Something must have changed... I'm not arguing, I love the new font smoothing. I was just trying to understand what changed (if anything actually changed... maybe I'm just drunk)

Must be the cairo update.
If you have not used infinality I suggest it for you , for the best font smoothing results.

I'll have a look at it, thanks! Do you have it installed? Would you post a screenshot of the test page if you get the time? http://www.infinality.net/files/font.html

Here are a few examples using the fontconfig-infinality-git and freetype2-infinality packages:
Arial (ttf-ms-win8 is installed)
Dejavu Sans
Droid Sans
Paprika (ttf-google-webfonts)
