I had this problem on my laptop (an aging Toshiba Satellite 320CDT with an 800x600 panel).

From what I remember X was using wildly different x and y dpi values causing all scalable fonts to be really ugly. Bitmap fonts weren't affected. Run the "xdpyinfo" program to figure out what your settings are.

Try starting X with "startx -- -dpi 75", or more permanently (as root)

# echo exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 75 > /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc

Change the 75 by 100 if the fonts end up being to big.

HTH,
Omer
