GNOME does have some GUI for font rendering configuration: it might be
worth trying that (if you haven't) before attacking the XML config
files.

Click System / Preferences / Font, then try selecting "Best contrast".
If you click "Details ..." you can change some more settings, such as
RGB order and hinting.
