first of all, one of the tags are "intrepid". i also mention intrepid inside brackets in the report.
second of all, this is an odd behavior that was not present in hardy. third of all, even if you set the antialiasing to "none," you can still select the hinting level, and it will still get bigger, even though there is no antialiasing. this is definately not normal, no? anyway, these weird problems with the bigger fonts and all of the radio buttons being selected at once was not a problem in hardy. therefore, this is not a feature request, its some kind of weird regression or something. whatever the hell it is, it should be fixed. experiment with the font antialiasing settings yourself, and you'll see the weird things. also, i think that the package is defoma or gnome-appearance-properties, or both maybe.
