Comment 8 for bug 174373

so there have been only two reports of this bug since December (and one of them referring to different issues of "ugly" fonts)? If fonts were generally broken after a fontconfig upgrade from default gutsy to default hardy, we should generally expect a lot more confirmations of this bug.

Fernando, have you installed any extra font packages on your system by hand, or made changes to the default font selections in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts?
