@gandriyko

it only work for things that doesn't ship with their own version of freetype, so chromium or appimage programs won't work unfortunately

besides, chromium has bunch of other issues i have reported, they acknowledged them but they do nothing to address for some reasons..

i even sent a PR: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/5332813/

gnome is bad, gtk 4 still doesn't do subpixel antialiasing, so fonts looks trash by default with their new renderer..

It looks very nice, but it doesn't seem to work in GTK 3, 4 applications. Works fine in KDE, Java (JetBrains), firefox (only in content but not in menu), Chromium

Thank you, it's a very good setting!
