Not sure if this is only on my system (though I have seen the same problem in other screenshots of openSUSE on the web as well); but the fonts display in openSUSE are irregular. This font 'bleed' is there only in openSUSE, as I also have Ubuntu 9.04 also installed on the same system, and the fonts are clear (without any sort of distortion) in Ubuntu. [...]
Subpixel hinting is disabled in the freetype2 package of openSUSE because of Microsoft's ClearType patent: http://opensuse-community.org/SubpixelHinting AFAIK Ubuntu enables subpixel hinting and the bytecode interpreter anyway.

The instructions at the link you gave fixed the problem; I had been looking for a fix since last year, having posted this problem on the <alt.os.linux.suse> Usenet/Googlegroups (http://fixunix.com/suse/525031-install-additional-tt-open-fonts-opensuse-11-...), and tried copying over the TT fonts from Windows XP to /usr/share/fonts/true_type & then rebuilding the font cache, but as that did not help, I was using the 'Monochrome' option till now - there is less font distortion with monochrome option.
