Hi.
I did work with both hinting and sub-pixel order.
Full hinting was the best setting for hinting.
The sub-pixel order did not seem to make any difference.

1995 than 2015. I think it just lame fonts in XFCE, not the physical
display.

Yes, there should be no change in operation, as the same repositories

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.
I did change from Debian 8 stable to testing, seems to be okay for now.
FWIW, here is the new /etc/apt/sources.list:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.0.0 _Jessie_ - Official Multi-architecture
amd64/i386 NETINST #1 20150$
