If you're not a graphic artist, you probably don't know what this means. To be short: the practical effect is that you fonts look smoother, like the Mac OS X fonts.
Also, most fonts look very bad with hinting enabled, virtually only Vera/DejaVu has acceptable results, while most other fonts are not usable.
This is very easy to implement: it is just a true/false value in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
You can also set it per user in your ~/.fonts.conf by pasting this snippet:
false
(Affects only newly started applications)
Artists and eye candy people, make your voice heard!
