Right, epiphany behaves like gnome-terminal. When using medium hinting in Xft resources (gnome settings), the contents look fuzzy, but not the menu. In firefox though, both are fuzzy. But I'm not sure how you can know how medium hinting should look. Personally, I don't even know why it exists in the first place, because it either looks like low hinting, or full hinting depending on the application used. Anyway, fontconfig settings are very very confusing, I play with them for a while, and I still don't understand the logic, if there is any. But I don't think it's the problem here. Apparently, all fonts aren't rendered the same way, but in the end, I believe all these fonts render with freetype. So I assume something differ in how freetype is called, and that's done with other libraries, right? If we could know what firefox menu and contents, gnome-terminal and epiphany contents use, and what the others use, maybe it would help investigating this issue?
