Things look better when autohinting is switched off (for some reason 
with autohinting most fonts look terrible). However I like how DejaVu 
Sans Mono (Monospace) looks with autohinting, so I enabled it for that 
font specifically, so it looks more like before snv_127 by default).

~/.fonts.conf:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- See samples at 
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration -->
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>

<match target="font" >
<test name="family">
<string>DejaVu Sans Mono</string>
</test>
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

Found some nice examples here:
