Yes, you are on to the problem, between thunderbird, gmail and firefox, and
gedit and terminal the fonts (same font ) display different.

First: thanks for the help, my laptop monitor is not as high res as your
monitor,
its 1280 x 800

Next did one of those command
rn at xub1:~$ sudo xdpyinfo |grep resolution
Password:
  resolution:    75x75 dots per inch

Next did that last command:
rn at xub1:~$ sudo xdpyinfo |grep resolution
Password:
  resolution:    75x75 dots per inch
rn at xub1:~$ xrdb -q |grep Xft
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.dpi:        96
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.rgba:       none
