(Get the code!)
Thanks for the link to Johan's fix. The default font blur drives me crazy... makes me feel like my monitor is miscalibrated or I have dirt in my eyes.
Maybe the bug is considered a feature for black text on a white background, but it causes problems when other colors are used. For example, I've attached a picture of white text on a blue background. The top line is the default in ubuntu 8.10, and the bottom line is with Johan's fix applied. By default, the letters aren't even a consistent color.
Could the new behavior be disabled except for specific cases? It seems like it should work for black/white or white/black text with font sizes larger than 12pt, but it seems to make everything else harder to read.
