The gnome project is recognized as having the best font rendering and fonts in all of gnulinux land, I just read on their blog they are moving from cantarell and source code pro to these highly specialized new fonts called "Adwaita fonts"
https://blogs.gnome.org/monster/introducing-adwaita-fonts/
You can download them from the source repo and try them out easily on Trisquel...
https://download.gnome.org/sources/adwaita-fonts/49/adwaita-fonts-49.0.tar.xz
I install the .tff files like this...
sudo cp -r *.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/. && sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
in fontconfig I set the settings to...
font tuning -> native
hinting -> none
sub pixel -> no
enable bit mapped -> no
and turn on anti aliasing for fonts too,
can also do font tuning -> auto
hinting -> slight
anyways these are some the best looking fonts on the internet so I thought I'd share them with you guys...
they look really good at specific sizes, like on my desktop size 11 is really good as opposed to the default 10, or a little bigger 12, then they start looking weird
(try 11 or 13...)
if you want to speed up the desktop there is a trick where you disable anti-aliasing of fonts, and use a bold monospace font, or medium weight, because they will look pixelated
