A while back (I think it was around October/November 2012) I posted that text in Ubuntu Studio 12.04 didn't look very good; text was "jagged" even with anti-aliasing on. I didn't understand why there was a problem since text looked fine in Xubuntu 12.04 on the same machine and Ubuntu Studio seemed to be built on Xubuntu.

I've now discovered a solution. In the Settings Editor, the value of xsettings/Xft/Lcdfilter is different between Xubuntu and Ubuntu Studio (12.04). In Xubuntu, it's set to "lcddefault". In Ubuntu Studio, it was set to "lcdnone". I changed the setting in Ubuntu Studio to "lcddefault" and feel that text looks better now (the change takes effect after logging out and back in).

Other possible values are "lcdlight" and "lcdlegacy" but I didn't try any of those.

I don't know if this information is still applicable to later versions but I hope it helps someone.
