Comment 46 for bug 80921

I tried to install the packages from the PPA above, but they didn't solved the problem.
It changed the font rendering method, but it didn't enabled subpixel rendering.
In the attachment there is a comparison between the same pdf viewed in Evince with and without PPA's packages. Sorry if they doesn't have the same level of zoom, but they look the same also with another level of zoom.
I'm using Ubuntu Karmic x86-64, in Gnome font settings I have set Slight subpixel smoothing, and it works fine in all apps.
I had also modified /etc/fonts/conf.d when I was running jaunty in order to enable subpixel rendering in jaunty's firefox-3.5, but this has never give me a problem, because I have only put system-wide the same settings that there are in gnome.
