You can also try this:

http://johan.kiviniemi.name/blag/ubuntu-fonts/

To create the files, open a terminal and:

gksu gedit /etc/fonts/conf.d/99-sharp-fonts.conf

and then copy & paste the file info:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
    <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
    <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintfull</const></edit>
    <edit name="lcdfilter" mode="assign"><const>lcdlegacy</const></edit>
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

and save the file. Do the same with the /etc/X11/Xresources/sharp-fonts
file. Then logout & log back in to test. From there, adjust via
System|Preferences|Appearance|Fonts and test with 'Best Contrast' etc.

If you find that the files make it worse, or no change you can always
delete them:

sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/99-sharp-fonts.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/Xresources/sharp-fonts

Anyway, might be worth a try before reinstalling with 8.04.1. Note: you
still will not be able to use compiz desktop effects with 8.10 as you
can with 8.04.1, but the fonts might look a little better after adding
the two files. Also, make a note that you did add the files someplace so
 if you keep them and want to remove them later you'll know how.
