Try this in your home; I have a LCD so you may have to adjust.
If it helps you can do it system wide
/home/david/fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Disable sub-pixel rendering. X detects it anyway, and if you set
this as well, it just looks really horrible -->
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<!-- The first part of the 'magic.' This makes the fonts start to look
nice, but some of the shapes will be distorted, so hinting is needed
still -->
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<!-- Autohinter is not turned on automatically. Only disable this if you
have recompiled Freetype with the bytecode interpreter, which is run
automatically. Although to be honest, Freetype are right, there isn't
much difference between the two. Note that OpenOffice is built against
the bytecode interpreter, so even if you have compiled it and override
it with the autohinter, OOo will still use the bytecode interpreter -->
<match target="pattern" >
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<!-- Helvetica is a non true type font, and will look bad. This replaces
it with whatever is the default sans-serif font -->
<match target="pattern" name="family" >
<test name="family" qual="any" >
<string>Helvetica</string>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" name="family" >
<string>sans-serif</string>
</edit>
</match>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
Here is another one I think it is for a CRT;
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
<!-- Enable sub-pixel rendering
<match target="font">
<test qual="all" name="rgba">
<const>unknown</const>
</test>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
-->
<!-- Autohint fonts
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool> </edit>
</match>
-->
<!-- Antialias -->
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="size" compare="more">
<double>8</double>
</test>
<test qual="any" name="size" compare="less">
<double>15</double>
</test>
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
