I found the solution, but not the problem itself :)

Changing my display manager from gdm3 to lightdm fixes it: my fonts are
back to normal.

On this Lenovo Yoga2 Pro laptop the screen's native resolution is an
insane 3200x1800 for 13". So I found a modeline on a user's blog for
half that resolution (which, strangely, is not offered by xrandr) and
put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

	Section "Monitor"
		Identifier   "eDP1"
		# 1600x900 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.44M9) hsync: 55.99 kHz; pclk: 118.25 MHz
		Modeline "1600x900@60"  118.25  1600 1696 1856 2112  900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
		Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900@60"
	EndSection

So after some "dist-upgrade" gdm3 probably decided to ignore that
modeline and configured fonts for a lower resolution.

All is fine now with lightdm, including anti-aliased fonts.

Thanks,
