Mh, I've tried to apply a similar workaround as the one proposed on the patch, but it's not something we can apply in the way it is since we can't just draw a full bg over all our text, for many reasons...
One is that the panel can also be semi-transparent, and this will break it.

So, the only acceptable thing is to draw the bg only under the text
glyphs, so that this will affect only the semi-transparent parts of
text. I got something working here, but still I've to clean up and
figure out a weird behavior I've noticed when the text is cut with fade.

  Fuzzy fonts caused by Cairo antialiasing artifacts with Radiance

Bug description:
  Since the switch to a theme-aware panel, the Unity panel uses very
  fuzzy fonts. The actual submenus in the global menu bar, as well as
  the indicators look fine, but the top-level menu entries, time, name
  in me-menu, and the window title look fuzzy. Presumably this is
  because it doesn't use the configured Pango font anti-aliasing as the
  rest of GTK, as these are rendered by nux?

  This is Unity 3.4.4 on current Natty.
