I am now a user of Ubuntu for my desktop computer and when I first installed that I thought the fonts were rather poor: seemed blurred, small, not very "sharp". I have a 19" Dell CRT at running 1280x1024. I played about with anti-aliasing etc but didn't get very far. Now, I don't know if this will help directly, but after using some of these community "fixes" my fonts are much better now. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670 Perhaps investigating what these do, would lead you to better experience? ;-) Just a thought.
