Could you describe exactly the settings you chose? I used to have these
"bold" fonts with debian sarge, then with one upgrade the were unbolded
again. I actually _like_ the bolded fonts, I find then I can even read
test without my glasses on ;) I hoped ubuntu would be like that by
default, but no. I haven't been able to get them that way again...

I had a cheapish 17" CRT, and now have a mid-range 17" LCD. The
difference in font contrast/sharpness is astounding...
