it kinda depends on what distribution you are using, but some (like SuSE) 
have a great ttf and postscript renderer that anti-aliases fonts. However, 
standard X11 fonts look cruddy on there own. If you goto www.freshmeat.net, 
there's a really good font renderer called ttfserv I do believe. Mandrake 
has it.
