Just installed RC1. Saw this problem in beta 4, but saw some discussion
at the time about it and didn't think much of it until I notice that it
is still broken.

I'm using GNOME as my window manager of choice. My screen resolution is
1024x768x24bit. I then install my Windows fonts with DrakFont. When I go
to view a website in Galeon that has Verdana on it (in this case it's
Verdana 9pt) the font it displays looks HORRIBLE. It's *bold* for some
bizarre reason, and it's all blotchy as if the result of some inept
attempt at anti-aliasing. All I want is for my Verdana TTF font to look
NORMAL. That meaning the way it looks in every other occasion (in
Windows, Mandrake 8.1, etc).

Is there something I can do? This is something that should be fixed ASAP
IMHO.

Here is a link to a screenshot displaying the various ugliness that
these fonts are displaying:
