Well I recently did an upgrade of Ubuntu18.04 to Elive 3.8.18 on an old Thinkpad X260 (mentioned in another thread) and was initially shocked on how bad fonts looked on first boot, i.e unreadable:
or way too big:
Luckily the 2nd reboot sorted that out by itself but it wouldn't be a nice experience for a first time user. 
So anything that remedies that is quite welcome.
