Hi, Had the same problem - I think you need to go into Applications/Desktop-Preferences/Font, then click on Details at the bottom right. Gnome doesn't seem to auto-detect DPI, so (for example) mine was set at 96 dpi. That made all my font hideous :)
Setting that to be the same as the rest of your desktop should work. You'll need to logout and back in for this to work. Ciao, Brad.

What? Stable software? Never! What would I do with all the free time?
