Latest fontconfig and freetype rock

I had been using a ~/.fonts.conf to turn off anti-aliasing for fonts 
smaller than 10, since they looked really bad.

With the latest versions (fontconfig-2.1.94 and freetype-2.1.4) the auto 
hinting and antialiasing has GREATLY improved. Fonts look spectacular 
even at lower sizes.

If anyone has been using a similar work around as me, comment out the 
option in fonts.conf (comments in XML are <!-- -->) and give it a shot.
