Font Rendering Issues (Freetype2+Infinality; Filter; Color fringing)

Hello,

I tried to properly configure freetype2 but the issue is that it still has color fringing which is annoying. I could disable rgb anti aliasing and enable grayscale anti aliasing but it seems that it is preferred to use rgb on lcd monitors (I am using a Dell U2515H).

I am currently using ultimate3 preset. Is there something I am missing ?
How can I get clear/sharp but still smooth font (especially for small font sizes) like on Windows ?

(I currently have no extra font packs installed other than default fonts -> DejaVu, ...)

EDIT:

My xft-settings.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

XFT_SETTINGS="
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.autohint:   0
Xft.dpi:        117
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault
Xft.rgba:       rgb
"

echo "$XFT_SETTINGS" | xrdb -merge > /dev/null 2>&1

export INFINALITY_FT="ultimate3"

Try this

# Makes fonts darker and thicker
export INFINALITY_FT_BRIGHTNESS="-4"

# Not too sharp, not too smooth
export INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS="15 20 30 20 15"
export INFINALITY_FT_USE_KNOWN_SETTINGS_ON_SELECTED_FONTS=true
export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="10 60"

@Ropid,

we consider post blanking as rude. Even if for some reason your post is irrelevant, you can always edit it and mention that.
