Ubuntu 18.04 what about fonts?

Question

Fonts

There was a time, I worked in Ubuntu 16.04, the fonts were terrible, I endured, in the end I could not solve this problem, I went back to Win 8, I worked for years with no problems. I returned to Ubuntu, but now it's already 18.04, I thought everything was fine, but in the end nothing has changed. Fonts throughout the system and in the browser hurt the eyes. It is impossible to work, and here the problem is not in my habit of using Windows fonts (although I tried to install from Windows as well), but in the rendering itself. It feels like something is wrong with the text. Somewhere it is very fat, somewhere too thin.
Has anyone come across? Googling, it seems as if the problem is only with me, because others have something wrong with the fonts only when they installed something wrong, but everything is bad for me immediately after installing the system.
Neither Gnome nor Unity tweak tools help in any way.
The sites that I often visited on other operating systems were displayed as they should, but in Ubuntu they began to disperse because the fonts were not rendered correctly. A couple of illustrative examples after which there is a wild pain in the eyes and which does not go away even after a while.

Answer 1

There was a problem with rendering and I was convinced of this again. Downgrading the freetype lib has improved things a lot.

Answer 2

Try ~/.fonts.conf

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
   <fontconfig>
      <match target="font">
         <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
            <bool>true</bool>
         </edit>
      </match>
</fontconfig>

Answer 3

Well so you are right - just a different rendering (and anti-aliasing) for ubuntu and for Windows. To make the same - well, roughly speaking it is impossible - somewhere there will still be "jambs". Try different tweaks and get used to it.
