Make sure you install some Truetype fonts (eg try to pinch Arial etc
from Windows) and use sans-serif; that makes it much more readable.

There were patches for GTK+ and Mozilla a while ago that were supposed
to make it use AA fonts, but it didn't make any difference for me,
except for forcing me to use an uglier GTK+ theme than usual. Someone
also posted a URL for a screenshot of it allegedly in action to this
list, but there was no sign of any AA on that either!
