The website isn’t reachable now (bohoomil.com), anyway is not a good moment to add them beacause they are not compatible with last harfbuzz version, it has been discussed on the forum.

Here is a good set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering:

I followed these instructions and am happy with the result. This will also remove the infinality respositories from your system, so you won’t get the error message.

I did install freetype2-infinality and followed some advise from that gist website. It works fine. Fonts look nice.You have to add the gpg key but its not a problem. I also edited /home/user/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.
I’m on i3 but obviously other manjaro derivatives has it as well.

I’ve used Infinality for years, because font rendering was a PITA on basically all distros except Ubuntu, but I switched back to default freetype when v2.7 was released. It includes an Infinality-like rendering mode (see /etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh), and now font rendering is finally up to the standard you would expect from a modern distro.
Personally, I see no need anymore for Infinality unless you make heavy use of MS fonts.
