Here's a comparison of what I get under NetBSD and Ubuntu:
http://test.tumfatig.net/fonts.NetBSD.png
http://test.tumfatig.net/fonts.ubuntu.png
http://test.tumfatig.net/details.NetBSD.png
http://test.tumfatig.net/details.ubuntu.png
It's not that much different.
But different enough, to my eye, to make the Ubuntu version really perfect.
I even copied /etc/fonts and every fonts from Ubuntu into NetBSD and
disabled every reference to native conf and fonts from NetBSD but it's not
enough.
The only thing I notice was that NetBSD has different family name for
"dejavu sans" (Condensed, Light) when Ubuntu doesn't - eventhough the
files are from Ubuntu...

thanks, I (re)read it but there's nothing I didn't already tried :(
