Why do the fonts in some applications display so poorly when running
X? In particular I'm referring to the fonts in Netscape, WordPerfect
and similar X apps. Some menus are all but unreadable and the small
fonts in the Netscape email client are awful. While Terminal apps like
Pine and MC display fonts well in xterm.

This isn't a problem with a particular machine, it seems to be a
common problem on all the machines that I've installed RedHat linux
on.
