Go to menu->desktop->preferences->font and turn off antialiasing.
If you think hinting is wrong, try putting this in ~/.fonts.conf :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
It may (or may not) improve things for you; taste differs.
