Just in case there's anyone out there still suffering from most distros'
appalling font rendering, Infinality can make a huge difference. Some
(slightly debian-specific) instructions on installing it:

Ubuntu 15.04 was still defaulting to a horrible mix of bitmap and vector
fonts for certain applications until I installed Infinality. Font
rendering is fractionally slower, but at least it looks like it's on a
computer display from this century.

cheers,
 Stewart
