Yes the FC6 fonts do seem to have been "downgraded" in asthetics. I have a CRT and use Gnome. I disabled all font smoothing and hinting (with the expected raggy effect), logged out, then logged in and set the font smoothing to Grayscale and the hinting to full and the subpixel to RGB (which shouldn't matter with CRT/Grayscale). The fonts are getting smoothed and hinted, but they don't look as nice as I remember. This is especially true for serif fonts, like Deja Vu LGC Serif, although I've tried other fonts as well. The sans-serif fonts are passable. Especially what I notice most seems to be very bad kerning now (even for the sans-serif fonts), which is probably even more distracting that the apparently-different hinting. Is there a chance that some font instrastructure is not set right anymore (pango, freetype, fontconfig, etc?). -- Deron Meranda
