Solved Fonts Look Fuzzy and Blurry

Hello!

Alright, here's a problem I've been struggling with. Fonts look very fuzzy and blurry when antialiased, and I've tried the whole gamut of works to fix it: Subpixel rendering, LCD Filtering, the various modes of hinting, disabling and enabling the autohinter, replacing some fonts with different versions, trying out other people's configs with their screenshots, etc. and nothing seems to be able to fix it.

Below here is a screenshot of what it looks like, and even though Google compresses it, it actually looks pretty close to what it does onscreen, which is rather sad.

I also upload my ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file, right here:

As always, any help is highly appreciated!
 
Never mind, my own stupidity here. I've tried to solve this many times, but after this, I decided to to do a complete and thorough overhaul, and I stumbled across some settings in my .Xdefaults (a file I've looked over so many times my eyes glaze). The settings were made many years ago, for a monitor that probably doesn't even exist anymore, and I'd gotten so used to seeing them that they didn't register.

The DPI was off, but for some reason, it never showed - xrandr would display the correct one as being set and X never left a note of it anywhere. Very glad to finally get this fixed!
