Anyone know any good tools for uniformly setting aliasing, hinting etc... for fonts on Linux?

Text looks distinctly different between KDE and i3 and aren't as out-of-the-box ready.

Are there tools used by everyone here that aren't as well known to smooth out these issues?

I just use the settings in the DE (kde or gnome).

For WM only setups these settings are missing ("bloat" is useful sometimes), so I would try borrowing the settings gui from lxde or xfce. IIRC it might also be useful to have an xsettings daemon run in that case.
