Font rendering regression after updating to version 2.2.1 is a known issue
for which I had submitted bug 198082. Try to install the "FC5" packages with
option "--oldpackage" and set the hinting from "medium" to "slight" (or vice
versa (?)). Truetype fonts look again better for me now. I also rebuilt the
2.2.1 package enabling "bci" but the result was all but appealing.
