Drop this file in your home directory renamed to ".fonts.conf" and log out and in again. It turns on auto hinting and makes your fonts sexy smooth.
Edit: Oops, typo.

Can't you set your fonts with the desktop configuration utility? Fonts- Advanced...
Yes, but auto hinting is not configurable with that utility. This is something you have to do manually until the gnome devs drop it into that tool.
Is this a GNOME only thing, or for Ubuntu in general? I.e. will it work for KDE?
I see no difference.
Edit: But when I moved it to .fonts.conf I did. *_*

It will apply to KDE too. It won't apply to apps that use older toolkits, like nedit or xpdf.Originally Posted by stodge
This may not be necessary -- A quick look at my Hoary box shows auto hinting is already enabled by default globally (for all users) in /etc/fonts/local.conf.Originally Posted by zenwhen
It was not enabled on mine.Originally Posted by kidrich
Much better now anyway.
