Fedora 30 and Slackware 14.2, how to obtain the same rendering?
Look this very good rendering on Slackware 14.2
in my opinion is near perfect.
Now look the same page on Fedora 30
In my opinion the fonts on Fedora are too small and difficult to read, I prefer the fat fonts of Slackware 14.2.
Is possible to get the same rendering?
On Fedora I use the same settings of Slackware
Fonts: Deja Vu sans 10
DPI: 96
Hinting: slight
Of course Firefox use the same settings too
Sans Serif 16
On /etc/profile.d/freetype.sh I use this settings on Fedora
export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35
And /etc/X11/Xresources is this on Fedora
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.autohint: false
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
On Slackware is missing,so I cannot paste.
Any suggestion to avoid headache and eyes burning and get the same rendering of Slackware 14.2?
I have noticed the same problem on Slackware current
I use the Freetype 35 because otherwise fonts are even more small and unreadable.
in my opinion is near perfect.
Now look the same page on Fedora 30

FONTTOSFNT(1) General Commands Manual FONTTOSFNT(1) NAME
fonttosfnt - Wrap a bitmap font in a sfnt (TrueType) wrapper SYNOPSIS
fonttosfnt [ options ] -o file.ttf [ -- ] font... DESCRIPTION
Wrap a bitmap font or a set of bitmap fonts in a sfnt (TrueType or OpenType) wrapper. OPTIONS
-v Be verbose. -c Do not crop glyphs. This usually increases file size, but may sometimes yield a modest decrease in file size for small character cell fonts (terminal fonts). -b Write byte-aligned glyph data. By default, bit-aligned data is written, which yields a smaller file size. -r Do not reencode fonts. By default, fonts are reencoded to Unicode whenever possible. -g n Set the type of scalable glyphs that we write. If n is 0, no scalable glyphs are written; this is legal but confuses most current software. If n is 1, a single scalable glyph (the undefined glyph) is written; this is recommended, but triggers a bug in current versions of FreeType. If n is 2 (the default), a sufficiently high number of blank glyphs are written, which works with FreeType but increases file size. -m n Set the type of scalable metrics that we write. If n is 0, no scalable metrics are written, which may or may not be legal. If n is 1, full metrics for a single glyph are written, and only left sidebearing values are written for the other glyphs. If n is 2, scal- able metrics for all glyphs are written, which increases file size and is not recommended. The default is 1. -- End of options. BUGS
Some of the font-level values, notably sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values. SEE ALSO
