[Bug 839458] [NEW] Fonts suddenly started using full hinting instead of slight, without changing any configuration

[The Fiddler]

Public bug reported:

After running the latest updates for oneiric (as of 02Sept2011), my
fonts suddenly became fully-hinted and ugly. They were slightly-hinted
before.

Note that I have not changed *any* configuration options. I'm using an
alpha3 Oneiric installation upgraded all the way to beta1. Hinting
changed all by itself (and it's ugly!)
