Install the packages
Linux font quality is a chronic issue, by default fonts configuration far from ideal look. This can solved by rebuilding media-libs/fontconfig with infinality USE flag, which applying infinality patch set. Patches, previously available in lcd-filtering overlay, now merged into main Gentoo portage tree.

Freetype
Freetype can be configured through environment variables (see /etc/env.d/99lcdfilter for a list of the variables and their description). Those variables can be overridden on a per-user basis by either redefining them in a startup file (such as ~/.bash_profile) or by sourcing the /usr/lib/ft-settings.sh script with the desired style in parameter (you can, of course, source the script from a startup file).
usage: source ft-settings.sh <style>
Possible styles: default - Use default settings. A compromise that should please most people osx - Simulate OSX rendering ubuntu - Simulate UBUNTU rendering linux - Generic Linux style - no snapping or certain other tweaks windows - Simulate Windows rendering vanilla - Just subpixel hinting Infinality styles: classic - Infinality rendering circa 2010. No snapping nudge - CLASSIC with lightly stem snapping and tweaks push - CLASSIC with medium stem snapping and tweaks shove - Full stem snapping and tweaks without sharpening sharpened - Full stem snapping, tweaks, and Windows-style sharpening infinality - Settings used by Infinality
LibXft
Only legacy programs still use libXft. The default configuration is defined in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Xft. It can be overriden on a per-user basis in the ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults files :
Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.autohint: 0 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.rgba: rgb
