Maybe this will help?

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367593



I changed my .fonts.conf to the one in the bug report, and that's much
nicer.
Many thanks for this pointer !

I've tried so many things over the past couple of weeks that I have
things so screwed up that it doesn't even seem to respond to changes
anymore. Joy, joy, joy!

Hoefully someone will fix this so that my fonts can look better than
those on the Winbox at work again...

Could you be a bit more specific - what fonts are posing a problem.. or
maybe I should say "where"..?

In other words, assuming you are using mozilla and have it open in a
full screen window - that's purely and example - you should be able to
see at least three "categories" of fonts:

1. The "content" fonts used to display web pages
2. The "widget" fonts used to display mozilla's menus & dialogs
3. The "window manager" fonts - title-bar.. menus.. etc.

Or maybe you could put up a screenshot somewhere - probably more
productive than trying to discuss these aspects via mail?

Thanks,

cga

P.S. I spent about two months getting my fonts right in debian after
migrating from redhat..
