I had the same problem, but now it's solved.
I created ~/.fonts.conf and wrote to it the following.
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
After I rebooted X, Firefox comes to show smooth fonts, without hinting.
My environment:
- Xubuntu Hardy
- Firefox: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
