I can fix the problem doing the following:

$ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
$ sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/10-autohint.conf .
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
   1. How should fonts be tuned for the screen? » Autohinter
   2. Enable subpixel rendering of text? » Always
   3. Enable default «bitmapped» fonts? » No

And creating a file called /etc/fonts/local.conf with the following
content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
  <!-- If the font is bold, turn off autohinting -->
  <match target="font">
    <test name="weight" compare="more"><const>medium</const></test>
    <edit mode="assign" name="autohint"><bool>false</bool></edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>


** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
