Help: Font AA and Color Hints

Hey folks -

I recently upgraded my laptop from FC1 -> FC2.  During this process, I also
moved back to XFree after some 8-9 years of using XiG (Accelerated X.)  Upon
doing so, I've noticed some horrendously ugly font Anti Aliasing due to RGB
sub-pixel hinting.

I've gone through both KDE and GNOME configuration tools and specifically
disabled sub-pixel hinting.  I've made sure the appropriate lines in
/etc/fonts/local.conf are commented out.  My ~/.fonts.conf is empty.  None
of these have helped in the least.  The only way I can 'fix' it is to
disable AA altogether, which makes the fonts look worse.

Does anyone have any other ideas, suggestions, tips, etc, as to where I can
look?  I'm sure this is user-error, but I'm just not sure where to start
looking.

Thanks.
