Note-This method works on a per-user basis

gedit .fonts.conf

with code:

<match target="font">
  <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
    <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
  <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
    <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
    <const>hintslight</const>
  </edit>
  <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
   <const>lcddefault</const>
 </edit>
</match>

Save changes in the file.

2. Create backup a .Xresources file:

cp .Xresources Xresources.bak

3. Open .Xresources file in text editor.

Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault
Xft.rgba:       rgb

Xft.hintstyle:  hintslight

Save changes in the file.

4.Run a command in terminal:

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
