Sometimes it helps to set the hinting style to "full" by putting the
following into your ~/.fonts.conf:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintfull</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>
