Public bug reported:
Back in February font rendering in Ubuntu 13.04 was perfectly fine, just
like in 12.04 and 12.10. I've made fresh installation this week and font
rendering is very bad, it's like something wrong with rasterization,
hinting etc. Fonts are visible, you could say they look good at first
glance, but it feels like there is some backlit behind them and are a
little blurry and fuzzy, it hurts my eyes so much I can't look at my
monitor for more then 10min.
It happens in Unity and Gnome Shell (which I installed after I've found
this problem, so it has nothing to do with it I guess).
I tried changing Nvidia drivers from 310.32 to 313.26, no effect. In
Noveau there is same problem.
I'm not sure what package would be responsible for this, so I file up against
"fontconfig".
I'd be glad to provide any additional information and I hope it gets fixed
before release, because atm I just can't use 13.04 at all.
