Not to mention that "upgrading" from wheezy to Devuan Jessie is even simpler than
from Jessie 8 to Jessie 1, since there is not so much Junk to remove.

Would you consider posting a screen capture of the font effect as
you're seeing it? You could upload to Debian itself *for posterity*:

https://paste.debian.net/

Maybe someone can help bring your fave into future releases... or
maybe something already exists but just got buried under the surface
over time.

I can *empathize*, i.e. have experienced this first hand. I can
remember favored features, just such as a font's almost "naive"
onscreen appearance, changing as all these projects grew up. :)

Hello. I am wondering: Why do you choose to not to install security
updates? There seems to be nothing to gain and much to lose with that
choice.
