Well, when users report the same font works fine in FC5, that rather points towards FC6 freetype autohinter bugs. Unfortunately it seems no freetype person commented on the problem yet.
I think it's a freetype issue, too. The fonts in my Firefox look much worse now, even if I use the same font (as in the same .ttf file) as in FC 5.
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.
