Cool, that fixed me right up! Maybe these hints should be nominated for 
a gnome 2 FAQ? ;-)
(ie use Pango font notation, fix XftConfig file)

We might also consider adding a part on how to enable font hinting in 
freetype (its off by default in redhat). it improves the quality of the 
truetype fonts a lot, especialy when dealing with anti-aliased fonts.
