Lines seem thinner, character spacing is degraded (some of them touch
when they didn't before). I'm sorry I can't be more specific, my eyes
are adapting and I don't have a pre-update control system to compare (so
I must try to remember a pre-yesterday system) but the changes were very
noticeable just after the rawhide sync. At least in evo, so maybe it's
evo-specific, but I seem to remember the Gnome panel changing too.
