Hello,
I have configured custom font rendering in the file ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintfull</const></edit>
<edit name="lcdfilter" mode="assign"><const>lcddefault</const></edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
This was working nice until upgrade of freetype2 to version 2.7 and above. After upgrade, the fonts look less crisp. The config file is read, because if I switch off antialiasing, the fonts are clearly not antialiased. But the appearance of the fonts is different:
Freetype2 2.6.5-2
Freetype2 2.7.1-1
What is causing this? Any advice? Thanks.

Font_configuration#Subpixel_rendering The default subpixel hinting mode changed from with 2.7, perhaps that is related.

Thanks for the hints, but that did not help.
I however noticed something strange. Some applications render fonts OK, but some don't. For example Inkscape, Evince and VLC render fonts nicely, but Chromium and dmenu don't.

Chrome/Chromium is known to misbehave, ask brebs
you may try setting up ~/.Xresources and ~/.xsettingsd as advised in the wiki
