Poor quality font rendering

[John Smith]

I'm interested in the answers to John T's questions for Linux as well, as there have been reports that font rendering there could use some improvement (though I don't have a Linux machine to test it and the reports don't back themselves up with screen shots or quantifiable data).

(sorry to add another John to the thread to confuse it ;-)
