I need to correct what I said above. Turning of hinting DOES improve
things a lot but it does not work immediately. I did have to restart the
system after disabling hinting which made me believe earlier that it did
nothing (and then I kept restoring the setting to ON/FULL).

Fonts still look wrong in parts of my Eclipse IDE but that varies with
the Eclipse window (package explorer is bad, source editor is good) and
some web pages in Chromium show ugly fonts. Overall my desktop looks OK
now.

Title:
  Thin font, nautilus doesn't integrate with Unity.

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It happens frequently (around 1/2 of the time) that when I boot the
  computer, font lines are only one pixel thick. This concerns watch in
  the sys-tray, all item in the menu of all applications, as well as all
  fonts in Nautilus. When this happens. Nautilus doesn't display menu in
  the Unity menu bar, but displays an additional button showing three
  horizontal lines for bringing up the menu.

  This problem has been with me for years, although sometimes disappears
  for months at a time when I run sudo apt-get update. This time it re-
  emerged after upgrading to 15.10 beta (Wily). It happens usually on
  power-up, and disappears after system restart. (To appear again on the
  next power-up).
