By the "microsoft sans serif" you mean Arial? If you mean real "MS Sans Serif", then it is not (and it never has been) TrueType font but some kind of M$-only bitmapped font (extension of the file .FON). That means when you select "Sans Serif" as your font you get probably some other font which is aliased to "Sans Serif" (the same happens if you select most Adobe PS-fonts like "Helvetica", "Times", or "Courier"). If it is non-TTF font, then it really doesn't work well with antialising. What is your desktop -- Gnome or KDE (just to now, which tools to use to find out more)? Use "Arial", "Times New Roman", "Courier New", etc. which are M$ names of the fonts when you do not want aliases (or rather install dejavu free font and use "DejaVu Sans Condensed", which is much more pretty :-)).
