Ugly fonts system wide on gnome in 25.11 or unstable

Recently I’ve upgraded from 25.05 to 25.11, and now my fonts looks terrible again. I use a font config on my home-manager to have more pretty fonts, but now it’s not working anymore.

Here’s the config I use to make fonts better home.nix/fonts.conf at 38835fbf4c0885430e69ad584ec075226850bcdd · CyberDruga/home.nix · GitHub

Here’s a print of how it looks now.

Here’s a print of 25.05

What DE/WM and what application?

system wide, and Gnome

I’m currently building into 25.05 to take screenshots of that

updated my post with prints of 25.05.

I’ve been trying to bisect nixpkgs to find which commit changes this, but it’s taking me forever to build stuff cause some packages aren’t cached.

Bisect with --first-parent, and only redo without when hitting a staging merge between last good and bad.

Anyway, if it’s really “system wide” I have no clue.

If it was only xwayland, then I’d say it’s because of odd scaling.
