I also experience strange font rendering after reinstalling 15.10. I
have already been on the development version for months and until
yesterday everything looked fine. Yesterday I did a download of the
15.10 release and reinstalled. Everything worked out of the box, even my
installed packages, EXCEPT msttcorefonts. I had to explicitly install
the ttf-mscorefonts-installer to get fonts like Arial, Courier and
Verdana.

But all fonts (not only the ms-ones) are rendered very weird in most if
not all places. The look very thin (most fonts are probably one pixels
wide) and I really have to go to bold versions to see thicker fonts.
Even then, the fonts look garbled.

Changing antialiasing and/or hinting settings has very little influence,
if any.

It brings back nightmares of the ugly font rendering I am used to in the
Windows I have running in a VirtualBox.
