Ok I know this has been discussed so many times, and so many users have added their own configurations and suggestions.
My suggestions for sweet font rendering under , GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment ) and Acer Aspire 1694wlmi

In Gnome I use the following settings:

  • Rendering: Subpixel smoothing
  • Resolution: 96dpi
  • Smoothing: Subpixel
  • Hinting: full

my ~/..conf file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font" >
    <test compare="more" name="weight">
      <const>medium</const>
    </test>
    <edit mode="assign" name="autohint">
      <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

Or simply download my file from here:
Download my .fonts.conf

Finally link your:
/etc//conf.avail/10-autohint.conf
to /etc//conf.d

pestilence % ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.d/ /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf
