I actually switched back *to* Debian from Ubuntu because I found the
font rendering in Ubuntu totally horrible. Especially in Firefox
fonts were really blurry and last time I checked they still haven't
fixed it.
By choosing the "Autohinter" option in "dpkg-reconfigure
fontconfig-config" (which is also broken in Ubuntu) and enabling
full hinting I actually like the rendering very much in Debian. At
least using the DejaVu fonts which I basically have everywhere.
