Updated version of the fonts.conf file mentioned in http://www.binarytides.com/gorgeous-looking-fonts-ubuntu-linux/ in order to get rid of most of the fontconfig warnings (mostly the "Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected")

WARNING :: Droid Sans font with autohinter becomes bad, without autohinter looks great, but becomes smallish, cant help
even the smallish is so good, that i am using it on desktop
but cannot be used as a substitution for arial, since 12px (which is very common on websites) becomes small as if tahoma 10px
Noto sans does better in this case, can be used as arial substitution without loss of size
noto sans is slightly fatter than droid sans
Open sans is much fat, and open sans bold looks bad, hence we choose noto sans as the replacement for arial
Download the following fonts
Droid fonts whole sets
Download from google web fonts
open sans all styles
noto sans all styles
noto serif all styles

================================
LCD optimized 96 dpi
"Sharp'N'Clear" font settings
with emphasis on 'msttcorefonts'
tested on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 5.10
================================

================================
Why was this conceived?
- some font families look better hinted by Byte Code Interpreter (BCI)
while other fonts look better hinted by Auto-Hinter
- hinting type affects italic and bold fonts differently
- antialiasing needs to be adjusted according to font families and sizes
Essentially, there is no one single rule that works for all fonts.
NOTE:
- Verdana @ 8pt doesn't render '2' and '6' right
- Arial shows 'Z' distorted in Firefox 1.5

"Whole-pixel anti-aliasing does not represent a useful solution for
improving small point-size type. (...) By 'borrowing' sub-pixels from
adjacent whole pixels, we can fine-tune the placement and width of typeface
features with three times more horizontal accuracy then ever before!"

"The relationship of pixels to points depends on the number of pixels
per inch, which is typically some 'standard' value corresponding to
default screen fonts. For example, MS Windows has two standard sets of
screen fonts initially designed for IBM display systems: 'small' (VGA)
and 'large' (8514/A). 'Small' fonts are 96 pixels per inch, 'large' are
120. Macintosh systems render type at a nominal 72 pixels per inch, i.e.
one pixel = one point. Some display systems using scalable screen fonts
allow fine tuning of pixels per inch to suit user preferences."

FIXME: Verdana renders characters '2' and '6' slightly distorted
so it will be substituted with Arial.
EDIT Silver Moon : not replacing verdana with arial.
hey verdana is slightly fatty, how about replacing it with open sans or noto sans
open sans is fattier compared to droid sans
BAH, it looks good
Open Sans is cramped at 11px with autohint = true
'sa' the s and a will stick badly
'50' the 5 and 0 will stick badly
But 12px onwards Open Sans is better than Noto Sans
But the vote goes to noto sans for verdana replaced to maintain beauty at 11px
Another note
noto sans has single stroke small g , open sans has the 2 round style g
noto sans p is thin, open sans p is better looking

Behavioug is similar to droid sans,
WITHOUT AUTOHINTER
1. becomes smallish, like droid sans, very small on desktop ,
2. DESKTOP - HIGHLY PROPORTIONATE, HIGHLY CLEAR
2. WEBPAGES - less clearer - vertical stands become hazy
3. slightly less STRETCHED
WITH AUTOHINTER :
1. very slightly STRETCHED
2. CRYSTAL CLARITY on webpages,
3. lesser proportionate on desktop, CLARITY KIND OF OK OK
3. bold font ugly with hintfull, good with hintslight
Since we are using noto sans as arial replacement, hint it fully with autohinter.
hintslight will compromise clarity
thought of doing this, above 12px autohint = false
below 13px authint = true
but autohint false leads to loss of clarity, but makes width correct
moreover chrome does not obey pixelsize correctly
