In the past, the too-bold-fonts problem has generally been caused by the autohinter: http://lifehacker.com/5693492/disable-auto-hinting-to-fix-windows-fonts-in-linux but autohinting was disabled in my config. If you get a chance to investigate, you can delete the various sections in my config file one at a time until the problem is affected - that will reveal what has changed. Hinting and autohinting are the prime suspects. However, in your case, because my hintless config exhibits the problem, I suspect the problem area is with lcdfilter. For a great overview of font options, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration For the lcdfilter, try lcdlight or lcdnone in place of lcddefault and see what happens. Please do let us know if you learn anything in this regard because in the future others will probably run into the same problem.
