Font Hinting will smooth your fonts and remove jagged edges of characters. This really looks good!

Drop the following into a file called .fonts.conf in your home directory:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
