Comment 2 for bug 991123

On a second thought, the fonts in LMDE are not extremely ugly (as in fedora without the freetype-freeworld package from rpm.livna.org), just not as nice as those from the main edition.

Also just found out that the font color can be changed (to 100% black) in the gtk3 theme directory, in the gtk.css file.

So maybe this is not a bug.
