Full font hinting not working in Ubuntu 18.04

It seems that full font hinting doesn't work in 18.04.
Due to low resolution laptop screens, I prefer the fonts with full hinting and grayscale antialiasing.
Changing the font hinting from medium to full seem to have no effect whatsoever.
Here's how fonts look in Ubuntu 16.04, sharp and thin.
and here's how they look in Ubuntu 18.04, thick and blurry.
I tried the following:
Changing the settings using Gnome Tweak Tool as shown in screenshot.
Copying
10-antialias.conf,10-no-sub-pixel.confand10-hinting-full.conffrom/etc/fonts/config.avail/to/etc/fonts/config.d/and deleting the conflicting files inconfig.d/.Putting this fonts.conf in
~/.config/fontsconfig/.
But nothing worked.
Anybody else having the same problem? Any suggested solutions?

I found a solution to the problem linked to in this reddit post.
Add the following line to /etc/environment as root:
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35 cff:no-stem-darkening=1 autofitter:warping=1"
Then restart the XServer (Xorg or XWayland) or reboot.
It works.

It's different, but for me is still ugly!
