Apparently this is a bug in unity-4.24.0/plugins/unityshell/src/FontSettings.cpp It checks for gtk-xft-rgba value and if it's "none", sets antialiasing to CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE. I added gtk-xft-antialias value check and if it's nonzero, set antialiasing to CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY instead. This fixed the problem for me. See attached diff for FontSettings.cpp.
