Title:
  [hardy] Fonts are rendered slightly fuzzy and are too thin

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: fontconfig

  Somehow the font rendering in Hardy makes it hard to read them and
  therefore use my PC. Which is very frustrating.

  The most noticeable change from 7.10 => 8.04 is that the font thickness has been decreased too much. However, changing the default font-size to 11, doesn't give the desired look that 7.10 had. The fonts just stay too thin.
  Something that probably goes hand in hand with the thin fonts, is the fact that they are also partly blurred. This is very noticeable in the gnome-terminal.

  I have tried every option in the font menu, all to no avail.

  See the screenshot for more details. Especially notice the font-
  rendering in the terminal and the gnome-panel menu. It hurts the eyes.
