<br>Is this an LCD monitor? If so, the resolution may not be set to the native resolution of the LCD. <br><br>On a default Ubuntu install, I will usually go into gnome-appearance-properties and set all of the fonts to Bitstream Vera (a TrueType font). You might also try messing around with the different rendering techniques, which are dependent on the monitor and personal preference. I will usually enable subpixel smoothing with full hinting. Also, set the font resolution to 96dpi and adjust as needed. hth,<br>
