I am experiencing this problem in Hardy. The systemsettings | Appearance option creates a local ~/.fonts.conf file. The settings in this file do not correspond to the options I select when I execute: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config --force Select: Font tuning method for screen: Autohinter Enable subpixel rendering for screen: Automatic Enable bitmapped fonts by default? No As a result the fonts revert to a fuzzy appearance. To correct this, I have to manually delete the local ~/.fonts.conf each time I access the Appearance option from systemsettings.
