You need to make sure that the fonts do support the hinting; like I
said previously, the only ones I know that can take up to the full
extent of this are the Microsoft fonts and the Ubuntu Font Family.
Most of the fonts around don't really support this to full extent. Try
with a font that support it's it please and see if it helps :)

I have the two packages a try and the improvements are clearly visible. There's one note from me though, the default 'sans-serif' font seems to be a serif one and I can't find a way to correct it.
I've attached an example from Firefox ( although I see it in system dialogs as well ) and my gnome 3 font configuration.
Running 12.2 x86_64, Gnome 3 and freetype-infinality-2.4.9-1.1.x86_64 fontconfig-infinality-1-20120615.1.noarch
Thanks,
Robert

: I don't know exactly what 'infinality fonts' term means, so this can be offtopic.
Infinality is a set of patches for the freetype rendering engine that enables/improves TTF and ClearType rendering with sub-pixel hinting; This set of patches (and configuration files) beat the fuck out of freetype-freeworld and you get font rendering which doesn't embarass Linux when compared to Windows and OSX.
The issue is that most fonts traditionally shipped by openSUSE/SUSE (and other distros) don't really support to the full extent the capabilities of this patch set. If you use Microsoft Fonts or for example the Ubuntu Font Family, you will get amazing results...
That's what it does :)
