... A string of registry changes enabled smoothed
fonts for me:

I was already using FontSmoothing=2 which was some improvement over
nothing, but I didn't know these other settings. FontSmoothingType=2 made
things much better, the others didn't seem to have any effect.
However, I then discovered that with FontSmoothingType=2, a Java app I run
in Wine crashes when it opens. :( The interesting item out of the Java
stack trace is:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 0 incompatible with
Text-specific LCD contrast key
Quite why Java is getting involved at this level I don't really know.
Running on Windows with the same font smoothing settings it works fine.
Puzzling ...
