@nubreader: Yeah, I imagine
. That's why I went the package way first, it should be completely "scary screen" free
.
@jswinden: Yeah, the rendering engine settings are now pretty unforgiving to crappy hinting in fonts... Unless you know how to tweak them and are willing to spend possibly quite a bit of time with trial and error, it's harder to get a 'nice' rendering on the first try. And even then, it's a matter of taste in how you prefer your fonts to look (ie. the endless fuzzy vs. crisp battle ^^).
