How do I fix jagged fonts for flatpak gnome apps in KDE Wayland?

I've been struggling to find a solution for the last 30m. I tried the following

  • Install gnome-settings-daemon
  • Install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

I already have the kde and gtk portals installed (it comes by default). I am using OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Those apps are running under flatpak

EDIT: It was a bug in XDG Portals and it was fixed

  • See this: Fonts look terrible

    The linked workaround solved this for me but only partially. If you look further in the thread this may be fixed soon anyway.

  • I struggled with jagged fonts in many places, like the web and some apps, and what I did was go into fonts and manually disable any fonts that didn't have anti-aliasing.

  • @Fredol I've found that many times, just disabling hinting unnastifies fonts.

  • I don't use KDE but I need to do this for Firefox/Librewolf, give it a try?

    ~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
    
    
    
    
        
        
            false
    
  • Does it look better in X11?
