Font rendering in certain GTK+ 3 applications
In some GTK+ 3 applications, fonts appear to have a slightly reddish fuzz and seem a bit unclear; this does not differ by font, so I'm assuming it's a font rendering issue. Is there any known solution to this? I searched around a bit and couldn't find anything.

Re: Font rendering in certain GTK+ 3 applications
Hmm, looks like the wrong LCD filter is getting picked. What desktop environment are you on? I take it it is not Gnome, is it?

It's just the default one; I'm using GNOME 3.10.
Are you using the infinality packages?
No; just plain fontconfig/freetype2.
Regular font rendering settings are being used (fully antialiased, slight hinting, rgba, default lcd filter, etc.)
Edit: Also, note that this issue had been present in several other applications but disappeared recently after certain upgrades; for instance, fonts were similarly fuzzy in the "About" section of most GTK+ 3 applications and the "Notifications" section of GNOME Control Center.

I have the same thing in cinnamon I've uninstalled ttf-liberation and installed ttf-liberation 1.07 from AUR and its a bit better now.

Re: Font rendering in certain GTK+ 3 applications
I don't have infinality or /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ I just use regular fonts.
