Public bug reported:

On my old Ubuntu installation, I had enabled font hinting and configured
the subpixel order so that the fonts look well on my LCD.

On my fresh Oneiric installation, there is no way to do so, and the
fonts look really ugly in some places (e.g., in the panel). They appear
to be blurry, which disturbs me very much. My eyes even keep moving up
the place where the indicators sit just because there is something there
that doesn't look right. Ubuntu really needs a way to configure these
things if they can't be detected automatically.

** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
