Ugly fonts in 12.10 even with antialiasing turned on

I'm feeling like there's something wrong with font rendering because it looked a lot nicer last time I had Ubuntu running on the same PC (or even from a Live CD).

gnome-tweak-tool
nautilus

Is it something wrong with my configuration?

Make sure you have the ubuntu-desktop package installed. It contains, among other things, the ubuntu-settings package, which includes the default font settings.

If you have it installed and the fonts still look ugly, you can try resetting the configurations of Unity:

Here's the default font settings for 12.10:
