This isn't a duplicate.  The problem is caused by 29-language-selector-
ja-jp.conf which enables the autohinter.  This gives ugly results with
some fonts (which have good hints), for example with the Microsoft fonts
(Arial, Verdana, ...).

It's possible to work around this with $(HOME)/.fonts.conf but I don't
think the autohinter should be enabled globally.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
    <bool>false</bool>
  </edit>
</fontconfig>
