you're absolutely right - but ugly fonts were fixable even previously. I used Droid or even Calibri from my Windows 7 install.
I dont think there have been any changes in font rendering itself (which is the main cause of Linux fonts looking bad compared to Win7 or OSX) - rather, just a new font.
Most modern fonts are designed to work around limitations of the display medium. It even seems reasonable you could design a font to account for a bad display algorithm.
