This bug comes again in Hardy.

In Firefox everything works alright (#1)

In Terminal the fonts are a bit "boldy" (#2)

Here is screenshot of what i am saying...

As u can see nautilus, gnome-panel and Desktop icons are very good... but firefox OO.org, and gnome-terminal are still bad like in edgy...

ps:
i noted that sometimes when i run live cd of feisty, fonts in firefox menies and firefox opened sites are ok, but terminal fonts are always bad antialiased...

pps:
also i found that if i mark subpixellsmoothing and hinting set on full... the fonts get "normal" look... but i wouldn't reported it if i was pleased with that hehe, i want "original" medium hinting like it was in Dapper Drake...

hope this will be noted and fixed very quickly not like in same situation with edgy

Just to add, it is harder to notice to people who have CRT monitors, i just checked it on my other PC and it is less noticeable than on LCD. I gues CRT does a bit blurry by itself... cause there is no pixels like in LCD.

Try to change your font settings to best contrast, works for me.

But this bug should really be resolved, you shouldn't need to change some settings to have nice fonts.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
