I just updated wine to 1.2-rc1 from the PPA for Ubuntu Wine Team (Lucid). Now
all my fonts look much too thin in Wine, kind of pale and greyish, so much so
that I find them really hard to read. They are certainly anti-aliased, but
definitely not in the way as either my Gnome Appearence settings (subpixel
smoothing, slight hinting, RGB subpixel order) or my ~/.fonts.conf (very
similar to Antonio's above, except that my hintstyle is set to hintfull)
specify.

Removing the old Windows-type registry settings for anti-aliasing from user.reg
didn't make a difference. By tweaking those I had managed to make identical
fonts at identical sizes look very similar in Wine vs. native Linux
applications (although they tended to come out slightly fatter in Wine, just
the opposite from what's happening now).

Am I doing something wrong? Could this be a bug in how Wine handles
fontconfig's hinting settings? Any suggestions are welcome. I'd also be happy
to provide more details as well as screenshots if necessary.
