Just for kicks, I've downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha6, installed and dist-upgraded to latest development version. And this bug still isn't fixed... There are still color bands next to vertical elements of letters. See especially letter "M" on attached screenshot. Letter rendering got broken in 2007 in Ubuntu and still isn't fixed. I suggest you look into Fedora package -- there is no problem in their package. I'm attaching composite screenshot. Upper part os from Fedora 10, with fontconfig-2.6.0-3.fc10.x86_64. Letters are crisp. Below is the same fragment of screen from current development Ubuntu, with blurred letters. Both system were configured identically in Appearance preferences -- LCD subhinting, 86 DPI, 10pt Sans font, medium hinting.
