Are you serious?

"X" is pretty great nowadays, you just need to enable some obscure option.

And that's the problem of linux. It's like that for everything.

That option is enabled on most distros by default. Fonts on Ubuntu, elementaryOS, Fedora and other distros look just fine.

I'd you are building your own desktop from building blocks in Arch or similar then configuring obscure options is what you chose to do.
