I've had a play and I use Arial and similar at a smaller size. I can live with it :-) The rasterisation, aliasing and especially the kerning of fonts is nowhere near the standard that Microsoft ships. On Macs the kerning is faultless but the aliasing is similarly blurry. They get around it in an arty way so it looks good. I've noticed it on PDFs a lot too. I guess Microsoft has the upper hand with the billions of dollars of research. It's not Ubuntu's fault, I'm such a spoilt brat and I like to have a paddy when something isn't perfect :-P Oh it isn’t as bad as I’m making out. I’ve had a play and I use Arial and similar at a smaller size. I can live with it :-)

I don't find them to be an issue at all - hell I've even written magazine articles and reviewed books in my Ubuntu system. They can't be that bad! As for looks, I'll try to remember to take a screenshot of my install for you, and see what you think. If you haven't got it by Sunday, ping me and let me know ;) Your good mate - Joe Barker :-P Thanks for the tagging ;)
