MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gimp-font-rendering-fix [2]:
Infinality font rendering mods are defunct and discontinued since 2021, and cause rendering glitches on current versions of freetype2.
Therefore this package is not needed anymore and can be safely deleted.

I don't see any font rendering related issues reported for gimp. [a] As freetype2 had completely removed the Infinality rendering engine from the stable release around mid-2023, I fail to see any remaining relevance of this fontconfig package that was made to fix an Infinality glitch in GIMP.
