    1. Append file ~/.Xdefaults with this line:
      xterm*utf8: 1
      • edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, my example:
        Section "InputDevice"
        	Identifier	"Keyboard0"
        	Driver		"kbd"
        	Option		"XkbRules"		"xorg"
        	Option		"XkbModel"		"pc105"
        	Option		"XkbLayout"		"us,ru"
        	Option		"XkbVariant"	",winkeys"
        	Option		"XkbOptions"	"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,compose:ralt"
        EndSection
      • or create file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi (you need to install evdev or try use kbd driver). My example:
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <deviceinfo version="0.2">
        	<device>
        		<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
        			<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
        			<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">xorg</merge>
        			<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">us,ru</merge>
        			<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="strlist">grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,compose:ralt</merge>
        			<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbVariant" type="strlist">,winkeys</merge>
        		</match>
        	</device>
        </deviceinfo>
    3. You want to find file xkb.so from LXPanel in other distro and put this file to path /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins. Then you may right-click on LXPanel and add Keyboard Switcher applet. If you want, I'm upload this file to you: link
      • Go to the /etc/fonts/conf.avail folder and carefully read content of files, select what you need. Example,
        • 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
        • 20-unhint-small-vera.conf
        Then you want to read /etc/fonts/conf.d/README and put symlinks from selected files from conf.avail folder to conf.d folder. You can try just to copy this files instead of symlinking.
      • If this not help, create file ~/.fonts.conf:
        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
        <fontconfig>
        	<match target="font">
        		<edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
        			<const>rgb</const>
        		</edit>
        	</match>
        	<match target="font">
        		<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
        			<bool>true</bool>
        		</edit>
        	</match>
        	<match target="font">
        		<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
        			<const>hintfull</const>
        		</edit>
        	</match>
        </fontconfig>
        and ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine:
        gtk-xft-dpi=96
        gtk-xft-hinting=1
        gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
        gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
        gtk-xft-antialias=1

    So I have created those files with rgba=none and antialias=false (and 0 in gtkrc), but my fonts still blurry. Why doesn't it work?

    @ALP, you want to ask maintainers for freetype >= 2.4.0. (See freetype in Wikipedia).
    You can also use Droid fonts, its free. Their look much better than DejaVu fonts.
    And you want switch off subpixel hinting only on CRT-monitors, else it should be switched on (if you want better look on TFT-displays)! And don't forget about freetype w/ bit-hinting.
