Which font resolution in gnome appearance settings are you using?

Try tweaking the font size slightly.  LCDs aren't as good as CRTs for
displaying fonts at some small sizes.  A small change can make the
difference between a font being drawn chunkily, trying to use one and a
bit pixels, to using whole pixels.

Mine's an Asus PRO31J series, F3JC mainboard, laptop.  With the same
size screen, using Fedora 9.  At this stage, I've not installed the
vendor NVidia drivers, just going along with the ones supplied with the
distribution.  Previously I've had Fedora 7 with it, using both Fedora
and vendor supplied drivers, and it looked just as good.  It also had
Vista, and I can't say that Vista was really any better.
