I booted up another 8.04 system (not upgraded to 8.10) and found that I have 10-hinting-medium.conf there as well and still have bad hinting and height mismatch. Putting 10-hinting-full.conf instead solved the issue on that machine. Seems like what they call Medium in Appearance/Fonts and in /etc/fonts is not the same. In fact, both Medium and Full settings in Appearance/Fonts have exactly the same effect, while both "hintstyle=hintmedium" and "hintstyle=hintslight" have exactly the same effect in /etc/fonts/*.conf.
