The fontconfig patches are a big reason I stay with Ubuntu. Fonts look _so_ much better on Ubuntu than Arch/etc.

You can install their patched version of fontconfig on Arch

- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fontconfig-ubuntu/

Then you can use their font config confs

Here is the list they are using: https://hastebin.com/fukibunuji.conf

Copy paste what you have in your ubuntu install, then believe me, fonts will look similar!

Make sure to also install the ubuntu font familly

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ttf-ubuntu-font...

And set your font hinting to: slight
