[Typo3-debian] Ugly fonts, hinting trouble?

[Bas v.d. Wiel]

Hi Steffen,
Yes I tried everything that was in the wiki but to no avail. The urgency 
of the problem is gone at the moment because the niceText option made 
the fonts look acceptable. However when not using this option (rendering 
is much faster without niceText) I'd say fonts should render acceptably 
as well. What bothers me most is that there is no visible difference 
whatsoever when I change fundamental options in /etc/fonts/local.conf 
(like turning hinting and antialiasing on/off). This leads me to believe 
that such settings are controlled elsewhere on Debian but I'm completely 
at a loss for further information.
