After a dist upgrade to Debian Jessie some rather ugly fonts got installed, which make reading texts tedious.
I run Debian Jessie too and I haven't noticed any ugly fonts. Can you provide an example?
Helvetica, e. g., which looks rather pixelated, as compared to other nicely rendered fonts. I'm not sure where this comes from, "apt dist-uprade" took several hours.
(BTW, I'm also using libfltk1.3-dev from Debian, without any further configuration.)
Is Debian's libfltk1.3-dev built with the xft option enabled? If not, then ugly fonts are to be expected. See... http://www.dillo.org/screenshots/disable_antialiasing.png
Not looked at it in detail, but since most fonts render nicely, I assume that the Debian package is indeed build with Xft support. Sebastian
