[Solved] Upgrade broke infinality fonts in KDE

I was using freetype2-infinality and fontconfig-infinality packages from AUR and yesterday after upgrade I noticed that fonts don't look so sharp than they did before that. This behaviour was noticed only in KDE apps (dolphin, konsole, system settings, etc) but other applications like Firefox still use infinality configuration. It seems as if there was an alternative .fonts configuration or something although I couldn't find it. I tried reinstalling both packages and even installing git packages with no change.

Re: [Solved] Upgrade broke infinality fonts in KDE

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

See some recent posts on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162098 , maybe there's a fix.
Why you're not using the precompiled packages?

Re: [Solved] Upgrade broke infinality fonts in KDE

Apparently upgrade changed KDE anti-aliasing settings. I set anti-aliasing and hinting settings manually in Fonts menu because Xresources file was ignored for some reason. Doing so made fonts nice and sharp again. I also installed infinality-bundle
