Imagination is everything! The RGBA patch didn't seem to change anything
- no matter what (with Xrdb, fonts.conf) font rendering always stays on
rgb.

The radiance problem was text shadows. Please see attached screenshot of
screenshots: it's color enhanced. The upper part is a menu bar item with
text-shadow the lower one without.

Here is an overview of the changes:

PLEASE consider using bold fonts with backgrounds instead of text
shadows.

Title:
  Unity Radiance Menu Bar Should Stop Radiating

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug has been there for at least three years.

  The font anti aliasing in the menu bar is completely off when the user
  chooses the Radiance theme. The attached screen shot shows a Firefox
  menu on top of an Emacs session. You see the unity menu bar at the top
  with the distorted anti aliasing. Under it in the pop-up menu you see
  a font rendered normally which looks much better.

  In addition to the distorted anti aliasing the menu bar does not seem
  to respect the user settings in "~/.fonts.conf".

  Please fix this and alter the name of Radiance to "Bright". Stop the
  menu bar from radiating with Radiance.
