Here is a snaphshot of my current desktop environment:

I'm running fluxbox 0.9.10 and kde3.3 on a gentoo 2.6.8.1 kernel system, and 
using current portage xfs daemon at default runlevel.

It seems to me that fonts aren't rendered very well, especially in web 
browsers (both Mozilla Firefoz and Konqueror).
From another of your posts, it looks like you have the ttf-bitstream-vera 
fonts installed.

Place the following file at /etc/fonts/local.conf :
        www.gnome.org/fonts/local.conf
Add the following line towards the top:
        <dir>/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera</dir>
Run:
        fc-cache -fv
Restart X.
Hopefully you'll then have nicer looking default fonts for sans/sans-serif/etc.
