Yes, same problem on LCD(s) with System -> Preferences -> Apppearance -> Fonts: "Subpixel smoothing (LCDs)" with hitting Full, also reported for snv_125 on: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=115504&tstart=30, for me using fix 2 from that thread with Dejavu fonts make all look awesome!
What I did for snv_126: 1. As Stefan Teleman instructions just comment XML chunk of file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/49-sun-preuser.conf e.g: <match target="font"> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>zh</string> <string>ko</string> <string>ja</string> </test> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> which would become <!-- <match target="font"> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>zh</string> <string>ko</string> <string>ja</string> </test> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> --> reload (just logoff/logon gnome for me works) Then change fonts to DejaVu (for much better results): 2.System -> Preferences -> Apppearance -> Fonts: Application Font: Dejavu Sans Book:10 Document Font: Dejavu Sans Book:10 Desktop Font: Dejavu Sans Book:10 Window Title Font: Dejavu Sans Mono bold: 10 Fixed width Fonf: Dejavu Mono Book:10 and all will look sharp and awesome :) 3. for Gnome terminal Edit -> Profile -> Preferences uncheck: "Use the system fixed width font" and use: Font: Dejavu Sans Mono Book :10 4. for firefox (also makes a huge difference) Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Advanced unckek: Allow Pages to choose their own fonts instead of my selections above you can also then change Edit -> Preferences -> Content Fonts & Colors Default Font: Dejavu Sans Mono: 16 or to Dejavu Sans: 16 Again for me using all this, Desktop on snv_125 and snv_126 just looks amazing, also on snv_126 gnome terminal core dumps without "vte" fix reported on thread: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12054, so you will need to download "libvte-for-6892167.tar.gz" from http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/attachment.cgi?id=2848 and replace the lib, I just did "mv libvte.so.9.9.2 /usr/lib/libvte.so.9.9.1" and no more gnome-terminal core dumps.
