I meant that (imo) Windows's 'ClearType' hinting is sharp and easy to read at lower DPI-- Linux font rendering can be configured as 'hintslight' for MacOS-style blurry-but-preserving-font-shape, or 'hintfull' for MSWin-style aggressively-snap-to-grid-for-sharpness-and-legibility.

There is ofcourse more that can be misconfigured, but if you've got blurry fonts on Linux, there's a good chance changing the hintstyle to hintfull could tighten things up.
