** Description changed: - Back in February font rendering in Ubuntu 13.04 was perfectly fine, just - like in 12.04 and 12.10. I've made fresh installation this week and font - rendering is very bad, it's like something wrong with rasterization, - hinting etc. Fonts are visible, you could say they look good at first - glance, but it feels like there is some backlit behind them and are a - little blurry and fuzzy, it hurts my eyes so much I can't look at my - monitor for more then 10min. + Since February till this week font rendering in Ubuntu 13.04 was + perfectly fine, just like in 12.04 and 12.10.

It happens in Unity and Gnome Shell (which I installed after I've found this problem, so it has nothing to do with it I guess). I tried changing Nvidia drivers from 310.32 to 313.26, no effect. In Noveau there is same problem. I'm not sure what package would be responsible for this, so I file up against "fontconfig". I'd be glad to provide any additional information and I hope it gets fixed before release, because atm I just can't use 13.04 at all.
