I can confirm the today's change in rendering. I don't like the change at all, it looks horrible at any possible configuration available. The resolution is 1680x1050 (on a 15,4'' Thinkpad and 22'' Samsung LCD). I would be pleased to get back the old way of rendering/antialiasing. But I'm dreading the thought that this "bug" might be just another step in "improvement" as experienced first when upgrading Feisty to Gutsy. In Gutsy at least greyscaling/strong hinting was acceptable. Please don't make Ubuntu so damned Vistaish.
Since my change from Suse to Ubuntu 5.04 I was pleased to find a state-of-the-art font rendering. It's been sharper thus better readable and less tiring than in Suse and it looked way smoother than in WinXP. To cut it it short: for me it's been just PERFECT.
