What about the "freetype autohint module"? What does it do, and is it inconsistent with sub-pixel rendering?Quote:

So I used apt-get install msttcorefonts to download and install it, but the directory /etc/X11/fonts/TrueType was not created. I'm not sure why, but I cannot run the script and finish this process without fixing this problem. Anyone have any ideas why this might have happened?Quote:

There really is a fairly clear difference, thanks for the awesome suggestion.
The right side is from screenshot before and the left side is after.
YMMV - I tried it on my laptop and found it made the fonts more blocky and ugly. It certainly makes a difference but end results will vary from display to display. FWIW, I also prefer the appearance of the LH screenshot above - the letter shapes aren't quite as nice but it's less blurry and easier to read on my screen.
