This is  followup for your report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313067

The report looks like an issue with fonts not providing the "best" alias
to gs. Would you mind reporting against the packages with "bogus"
hints ?

Sorry i cannot make up a fix , as i learned defoma framework but lack
the required practice with fonts themselves to find out the wanted
aliasing. Moreover, defoma as is is unmaintained though stable (no
serious bugs are known on the registering of the hints). Thus wrong
aliasing problems wont be coordinated by any defoma team. It will have
to be done for each font packages .

This may seems like a too heavy burden though in fact we are quite a few
to deal with such problems. The TeX team would be the best reference if
things get too technicals ... 
Anything you can grab about what the problems are and ideas of how to
fix it would be of help. 
I am mainly focused and fixing new font packages that have hints so
broken the fonts is not available on the system, which looks of no help
for your problem. though feel free to ask me (cc the bts)  about those
if you feel otherwise.

The real bug with defoma is that it miss a hint generation easy enough
to avoid such bugs from the font maintainers :(

Regards
Alban
