That's one of the things I noticed when I left Windows for Linux, the
fonts didn't look very 'crips'/neat/clear/sharp. 
I got used to it now, but I would not mind understanding the exact
technical reason why it is  like this, and why it is not fixed, and if
there is hope that we will some day have cleaner/cripser fonts.


Vince, curious....
