I am not sure if this might help, but it does improve the way fonts are
rendered for me in KDE and Gnome.

Basically it turns on hinting.

Put this in a file called .fonts.conf in your home directory.

?xml version=1.0?
!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM fonts.dtd
fontconfig
  match target=font
edit name=autohint mode=assign
  booltrue/bool
/edit
  /match
/fontconfig
