Blurry fonts after upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy

Bug Description

After upgrade to Gutsy, fonts look blurry if LCD-subpixel is enabled.
If I disable LCD-subpixel, the fonts look OK but in my laptop display the should look even better (provided LCD-subpixel worked OK).
I've been told that this does not happen after a fresh install. Not tried though.

I've done the following without success in order to try to fix the problem:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

Firefox-3 fonts look cute but Firefox fonts look blurry.

I seem to have the same problem on Gutsy. With ~/.fonts.conf present I always get super-blurry over-antialiased fonts. I've removed .fonts.conf and now my KDE4 fonts are good (slightly antialised), but my KDE3 fonts, Thunderbird, Firefox, & GIMP GUI are blurry.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
