In the second one there is much more anti-aliasing and "blurring", saying that the "ea" (as an example) in the second image is much clearer, and the kerning is better. The little "b" in the first image is better, the n's and A's are about the same, the "G" from Gehe is a little clearer in the first one, but again the "ehe" is better from teh second image...
You are correct, the Kerning is off, but not in a way that would worry me in day-to-day use, the "blurring" or the characters is more of a problem to me, as "out of focus" things (not just text) make my left eye go funny very quickly. I am very fussy when it comes to setting up my machines - and one of the reasons I never used 8.n as a desktop machine, after 20 minutes or so, I'd have to take a break of several hours before I could work again. In that respect the 9.n and 10.n have been a huge improvement - I think the move to xorg was the turning point in my eyes (sorry, about the pun). My 10.1 machine is down at the moment, waiting for the 10.1 B4 update. I haven't had much time to experiment so far. I'll look more closely at it once I have B4 installed (I started messing around with B3, but due to the significant changes in B4 and a heavy schedule, I didn't give B3 that much attention...
