Just saw this in a staroffice news group. Doesn't know if it works, 
though, I use XFree86 v3

==========================================
XFree86 v4 is probably getting your monitor size using DDC and using that
to work out the resolution, which in turn forces non-scalable fonts to be
scaled and then they look ugly. I had this happen and it took a while to
puzzle out what was up. XFree86 v3 starts in 75dpi by default. You can
force XFree86 v4 to do the same using '-dpi 75' somewhere in the command
line that starts the server (/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf if you're using GNOME
and gdm).
=====================================
