I assume you're talking about X and Gnome? Unless someone
comes up with a better advice, ditch Gnome and install KDE.
On my LCD I get ugly fonts in gtk applications only, KDE ones
are OK (though font quality on LCDs is noticeably lower than
on CRTs, regardless).

Well, if you get to that point, I'll be happy to give your
monitor a new home. I'll pay the postage, too.
