Look into hinting and subpixel hinting modes of Freetype2.
For different people different combinations of modes (full, medium,
slight, none for hinting; 0/1/2 for subpixel hinting) give optimal results.
Hinting is usually set via symlinks under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to what's
available under /etc/fonts/conf.avail. Subpixel hinting via environment
variable FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING.
