Ubuntu Karmic's font rendering is completely unbearable out of the box... Another issues that has popped up with Karmic is that Firefox 3.5 seems to ignore font rendering settings per user, and always uses system default. So even when I set hinting to full in my user account. Firefox still uses the crappy slight hinting...
Just remove:
/etc/fonts.conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf
And link the following instead:
/etc/fonts.conf.d/10-hinting-full.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf
And the problem is completely resolved. Such a trivial fix. I hope this will make it into Karmic Final.
This is still a problem with Ubuntu Karmic!
