In Fedora 16 (gnome) I did it without any problems. But in Ubuntu 11.10(gnome) in System Settings -> Appearance I can't see any tab for fonts settings.

Install gnome-tweak-tool from the Software Center. Or the Terminal sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool if you feel adventurous ;).

Open it.

Then select Font.

Anti aliasing.

It's in Spanish but you get the idea.

Try linking to 70-force-bitmaps instead. 70-yes-bitmaps doesn't seem to have anything in it. (This is taken from your link.) This worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04.

The process is like this (Added by a user on 14.04)

sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-force-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
sudo unlink /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf # For disabling no-bitmap setting

Then do this to update settings

sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
