Well, it's strange. I just tried it on my laptop, and the fonts look OK
there. To be precise, Xft.hinting defaults to true (though
Xft.hintstyle is not hintfull). On my desktop, Xft.hinting defaults to
false.
The funny thing is that both are running Ubuntu gutsy, though the laptop
is a fresh install whereas the desktop was upgraded from Ubuntu feisty.
I suppose it's simply a matter of the OS neglecting to set the
appropriate default Xresources. And, and James Cloos pointed out, the
Gnome applications are not affected because they don't use xrm.
Maybe we should provide Lisp variables to allow setting the hintstyle
from within Emacs.
