I just switched from Ubuntu 23.10 to Debian 12 (using X11) if that helps. I didn’t have this problem in Ubuntu.

    Back in the day, debian used to render fonts badly to avoid a potential patent trap. Is that still a thing?

      All of the ClearType patents are expired, so that’s not an issue anymore. OP probably just has anti-aliasing turned off for some reason.

        I’m getting old, it seems. Kids these days probably don’t even have to configure modlines in XFree86. Sheesh. ;)
