The problem is pretty bad. It was enough to force me to learn vim until this gets fixed. Vim/Gvim doesn't seem to have any problems with font- smoothing, but then, I don't know what it uses for font rendering. Since a lot of programmers use emacs, and those same programmers spend hours each day starting at the editor windows, it would be good to get this fixed soon, especially since this is a regression from previous Ubuntu versions.
