yep looked familiar. I'm running 1.0 (2002052918) Found out it all went away when I went to this page.
http://www.desktop-linux.net/aa-font-tweaks.htm and followed their instructions on using true type fonts in Mandrake and then in Mozilla. I render them correctly now. (and the tweaks are noticeably sharp) Also check your font set. I've had a couple that were at best flakey (even in windows) Microsoft Tahoma comes out nicely for me.
