The changes in default fonts might be related to recent fonts-ttf-liberation update. Since 2.00, this package ships fontconfig settings that by default substitute Liberation fonts for "sans-serif", "serif" and "mono" families. This is done by /etc/fonts/conf.d/59-liberation-*.conf files (in fact, just symlinks to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/59-liberation-*.conf). I am too much accustomed to my usual font set, so I trashed those symlinks immediately :)
I keep my fontconfig priorities for serif, sans serif and monospace families set to the Google Droids, regardless what's been chosen by the distro. Running at 120 DPI or higher, all the legibly large enough sizes look great without much impact from font smoothing settings. The sizes too small to read anyway don't matter.
