My fonts are quite sharp, but I tweaked things a bit.  Not sure where I 
got this from, but it seems to work for me.  Be sure to back up your 
.fonts.config file first, just on case.

Make a new text file in your home folder and name if .fonts.config two 
dots as it's a hidden file.  Place this text in it.  You'll probably 
have to log-out and -in again to make it work...
