[BUG] Inkscape font are not antialiased on Ubuntu 21.10/Gnome 40
Sorry if this is the wrong place to report this. If there is a better place for bug reporting, please let me know.
I recently updated to Ubuntu 21.10 and on it inkscape fonts are not antialiased. I am using the snap versión and I reproduced the bug on two different PCs both in the stable and the candidate channel. I attached a screenshot of the bug.
Libreoffice had a similar bug, already corrected, that seemed to be related to changes in the location of gsettings attributes related to antialiasing. Here you can see other apps hitting the same problem, they had to be updated to point to another field in the config file:

Yes, the best place to report bugs is explained here: https://inkscape.org/contribute/report-bugs/

I reached out to the LO maintainers to figure out what they're doing, and it looks like there's an issue with the Focal GTK+ 3 when running on Wayland. The LO package is using a custom GTK+ which frankly seems a bit scary. I'm not quite sure what the fix is right now, but please file an issue so that we can continue to track it. Thanks, Ted

I followed up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1922464 to figure why seb128 thinks that the patch (as present in gtk3 upstream) is not appropriate to be uploaded to focal. I'm also happy to take care of the update process in Ubutu if somebody is available for testting.
However I don't understand why Nicolas here says that they experience the problem on ubuntu 21.10? That version should have been long fixed.

brrrr.

It is, but it seems the etiquette has changed there... I don't know, it seems the way people do things now. Just trying to be hip and modern 😄

Great! Good idea, I've joined the thread there. That's the best fix.

The snap is built on focal so it pulls all of its dependencies from there even when running on more current systems. It also pulls back the focal ones on systems with older deps. I'm a strong believer in using the focal versions of the packages largely because they receive security updates and notices. Where folks who do things like build their own deps don't get the benefit of those teams work. Ted
