I had the same problem, but now it's solved. I created ~/.fonts.conf and wrote to it the following.
<?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
After I rebooted X, Firefox comes to show smooth fonts, without hinting.
My environment: - Xubuntu Hardy - Firefox: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
