And you're right. Different distros render exactly the same font differently, changing graphics card drivers from nv to nvidia suddenly results in my fonts being half the size they were before, and the default Helvetica Konqueror/KDE uses is just plain fugly. You should give Kubuntu a shot - they've done a decent job of making the fonts look good. Admittedly they don't have the smoothness that mac-fans seem to enjoy in OSX, but they're not as terrible as the 8-point Tahoma font Windows likes to use. Call that anti-aliased? You could cut yourself on that font! You seem to enjoy slagging of Linux’s fonts. And you’re right.
