Yeah, there's the problem. Turning off AA fixed it.

Well, the real solution is to find scalable versions of Helvetica and
other worthwhile fonts. The only package I can find that provides those
is the msttcorefonts package. Assuming you can stomach using fonts from
Microsoft, the big problem is that the package currently does not use the
defoma font system, so installing the package does not automatically allow
those fonts to be used in X- you need to get them recognized by X by hand,
something I have not yet figured out how to do. Any advice would, naturally,
be appreciated.
