I just thought of something. 

I wonder if Joe is thinking of an issue that was prevelant in *nix gui systems 
around '99/00.  

IIRC, the fonts weren't anti-aliased and thus looked "ragged" when compared o 
Macintosh System 7 or Windows or NT.  I remember Sun having some magic to 
their fonts but KDE on Mandrake or Red Hat looked less than desirable by 
comparison.
