--- Comment #1 from alexhultman@gmail.com --- Here is my initial report against GNOME: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707777
However, it's not a GNOME bug. Changing the default font hinting to slight is one proposed solution. See the GNOME bug report for more information, discussion and some rendered samples showing the difference from freetype-2.4 to freetype-2.5.
Thanks.
