A while ago, I did an update on my system (testing/unstable) and many of my fonts went from acceptable to ugly. I do not remember what package upgrade caused the change.
I'm finally getting around to asking if someone knows what the configuration problem is. I'm not (primarily) interested in finding ways to fix it by hand - this seems like stuff that should work right out of the box. I'd rather try to track down why the default configuration isn't OK. Some relevant stuff I have installed: msttcorefonts 1.1.2 libfontconfig1 2.2.0-2 libfreetype6 2.1.4-2 fontconfig 2.2.0-2 x-ttcidfont-conf 13 xfonts-100dpi 4.2.1-6 xfonts-75dpi 4.2.1-6 xfonts-base 4.2.1-6 xfonts-scalable 4.2.1-6 defoma 0.11.1 I have a 170K screenshot I can post to show the fonts I get in gnucash. My default font for emacs is also ugly, as are the menus in gdm. On the other hand, some gnome apps like gnome-term and galeon have nice, clean fonts.
