I need to correct what I said above. Turning of hinting DOES improve things a lot but it does not work immediately. I did have to restart the system after disabling hinting which made me believe earlier that it did nothing (and then I kept restoring the setting to ON/FULL).
Fonts still look wrong in parts of my Eclipse IDE but that varies with the Eclipse window (package explorer is bad, source editor is good) and some web pages in Chromium show ugly fonts. Overall my desktop looks OK now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506704 Title: Thin font, nautilus doesn't integrate with Unity.
