Mandrake 10.1 upgrade - fuzzy font problem

Yesterday I upgraded my work desktop from Mandrake 10.0 to Mandrake 10.1 using Easy URPMI. Mandrake 10.1 has dropped the XFree X server and replaced it with the GPL'ed XOrg server. The problem with this is that after the upgrade , my fonts looked slightly fuzzy.

Konsole output with fuzzy fonts - note how the letter "o" isn't very crisp.

The solution was to edit /etc/fonts/local.cf

Konsole output after editing local.cf and restarting X. Note how the letter "o" in "isos" is much crisper in definition.

There's more information about tweaking XOrg on this ArchLinux wiki page
