Hey,
Im trying to configure the fonts for my system to look nice, but so far they all look pretty ugly. Im using freetype-infinality from AUR (and also fontconfig-infinality), but no matter what rendering style I select, the fonts all keep looking the same, except when I select "Win98" (which, oddly enough, actually looks best).
As a screenshot says more, here it is: http://ompldr.org/vY3BqZA
In the top right corner, you can see some test text rendered with pango-view in linux, infinality, osx (EDIT: sorry, not osx, but win7, but it is the same with osx and osx2) and win98-styles, respectively. The first three all look exactly the same with some nasty red edges and the last one is "crusty" as hell. This cannot be right, can it?
Do I have to execute some additional tool or am I missing something else? Any ideas?

Fixed it by installing the git version and regenerating the font cache. I also set dpi to 96 in ~/.Xresources as suggested by the README (RTFM I guess).
Looks nice now.
