When the user runs dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig, and tells fontconfig to enable autohinting, the program needs to perform the equivalent of:
~/.fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match> |

Although, in breezy this made fonts look good, while in dapper it makes them look distorted. |

Font hinter seems to be fixed now. For users with LCDs that want to enable truetype, you may set custom settings via System->Preferences->Font and paste the fonts.conf file in this bug into your .fonts.conf file in your home directory. Also if you have an LCD to get the best readable text (this is subjective) in the gnome font control panel turn hinting off. |
