I have replied in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=856239#c125

I was very unpleasantly surprised by Fedora 18, because some sites are blurry as hell. I think people should not respond to this thread unless they see it on their own eyes first (and try to read some long article with that font). It makes my eyes bleed. Fedora 17 rendering was definitely better and crisper.

If you do keep the current blurry fonts as default (god forbid), please at least provide an easy way to switch to Fedora 17 rendering style. Thanks.
