Here is mine, I have been working on trying to get fonts looking perfect. I am wondering if anybody has gotten their fonts "perfect" and would like to share their config file.

Mine just enables sub-pixel rendering, then Gnome does the rest:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<!--
  Enable sub-pixel rendering
        <match target="font">
                <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
        </match>
-->
</fontconfig>

Yup, I haven't touched my font config files and the fonts look awesome. I just jack up my DPI to 110 and the fonts couldn't be clearer.

looks really good but the fonts are just too big for my tastes.
