Heres what it looks like on my Arch setup:
and heres from an Ubuntu Live CD:
Currently Im using Xfce and my font settings are Anti-aliasing enabled, hinting full, and sub-pixel order RGB.
I also have a .fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
But I don't think its doing anything.
Any ideas on how to make my fonts better.

Hey there,
Have you tried this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … tall_Fonts ? I always skip it myself when installing.

xkcd uses the "Lucida" font, which isnt installed or configured on your system. what you can do:
- email xkcd that he rather use a websafe font
- install Lucida
- add a fallback font for Lucida in /etc/fonts/conf.d/45-latin.conf

I find I have Lucida font installed, but xkcd.com font looks just as badly. So I checked it in fontmanager.py...
The Lucida font I've installed seems... corrupt?!
And my fonts.conf has:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/hq6oXNX45zEGwYsL4R9F/
...What should I do?

@lollicon: i think that's merely the alias showing, the actual font probably isnt installed on your system.
try this:
$ locate -i lucida
font hinting / antialising settings have nothing to do with this. lucida is licensed by Sun and usually distributed in the sun-java-jre package (jre in Community on arch).
also Lucida != Lucida Sans Unicode, which is the pre-configured Lucida variant in /fonts/conf.d/. it could help to make a separate alias for Lucida there.

Thank you litemotiv for clarifying things for me.
so i just added to fonts.conf
<match target="pattern" name="family" >
<test name="family" qual="any" >
<string>Lucida</string>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" name="family" >
<string>Lucida Grande</string>
</edit>
</match>
looks fine.. so i just let it be

You can download perfectly legal lucida fonts for linux from http:www.sharpfonts.com
Or you can force all sites to use your own fonts in firefox

try removing xorg-fonts-100dpi and xorg-fonts-75dpi packages.
