Anyone care to share their fonts.conf?

Hi guys,

Just finished setting up my Arch development box and it was a pleasure doing so (man Arch makes life easy).

The only thing I dislike is the default font rendering.
* DPI = 96x96 in xorg (xdpyinfo also shows 96 DPI)
* Sub pixel hinting = RGB (FULL)
* nvidia installed
* I have installed all the necessary font packages (ms fonts, deja vu, etc). 
* using XFCE4

I think that this could be fixed with some tweaking in fonts.conf (don't currently have one).  Anyone care to share some tips (wiki doesn't seem to have a lot on this topic).

Thanks,
Adam

The default LCD sample in the gentoo wiki worked a treat. 

Thx for the help!

dunno why you people can't leave fonts alone, I think they look great in my crt and haven't done a thing, just the default stuff...

CRT is alot different to LCD, you will see the diffrence once you swap over. They need a little tweaking to make look right.
