In June, we changed Emacs to try using Monospace-12 as the default font,
if Emacs is compiled with XFT support.  Monospace should be an
anti-aliased font.

If this change is responsible for what you're seeing, I'm not sure why
the screenshot you provided shows a non-antialiased font.

Could you check if your Emacs is compiled with libxft?  Also, what is
the default font you currently see?  What does the menu item
Options->Set Default Font show?
