Yep, that's a known problem. 1.2.x wants to have TrueType fonts,
XFree doesn't support that well yet. Also the bundled Lucida font
isn't really nice.
I've added a second font properties file to RC3. If you have the TT
fonts Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman you can get a better
display with this file.
