If you do tell me your resolution, card and monitor and font you used. (and xftconfig file if possible). You've done something wrong I guess. I do have screenshots and I can send them directly to you if that's ok?
Even the developers admit that the autohinter is not really good at the moment and that you should enable the bci. It is almost the same as used in freetype1, which is rendering all your X (anything exept >QT2.2.2 and gnome2) fonts (so they must look awful on your system if what you say is correct). If you want to test a good 2.0.8 freetype check ftp://ftp.eastwind.net/pub/mirrors/texstar/Mandrake-8.1-i686/ it works fine on cooker.
