This is really odd since I don't even since this font on my list. I'm using
the XftConfig file that comes with XFree86, and then I grabbed Keith
Packard's truetype font package, put that in the truetype directory (which is
referenced by the XftConfig file) and I've got a pretty decent display.

Konqueror browsing has definitely improved.

I tried it too, but it is *NOT* the same. Get Keith's package and use it.
Whatever is special in there is what makes it work. I'm guessing it might be
the XftConfig file in his package directory but I'm not sure.

This is Cooker - expect issues like this! Who do you think is doing the
testing?
With the additional font package and a little bit of personal font selection,
it's definitely usable and overall looks pretty good.
