match the distribution defaults?  Or, are you wanting to override all
distribution and user settings and force your application to look
'consistent' with itself instead of fitting in?

one can look awful and very much out of place. Here is a composite image
(43 kB) that illustrates the problem on two different distros:

entirely possible I'm using the wrong terminology for what I thought was
aliasing. Perhaps the correct term is hinting? In any case, as can be seen
in the second pair of images, the hinting / aliasing is different in the
AppImage. I suspect the first pair of images also have the same hinting /
aliasing problem.

up the system hinting settings due to differing versions in system vs
AppImage?

Also, strace:ing the image will help figure out what is going on.
