Font rendering on GNOME vs KDE
Font rendering on GNOME vs KDE
Is it just me or fonts really look better on GNOME and other (gtk DEs)? With the same font smoothing/anti-aliasing settings, text in GNOME is smoother and more similar to MacOS fonts.
A good example is Cantrell font. It looks way better in GNOME than in KDE.

The backend should be the same (Freetype)… only difference I can think of is that GNOME uses Wayland by default while KDE defaults to X11 and offers Wayland as an option. Do you have a HiDPI screen?
I use X11 on both DEs with an Apple Cinema Display 27".
