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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506704 Title: Thin font, nautilus doesn't integrate with Unity.
