Ubuntu Display Help

[d3monic]

Well, I just made the change from Windows XP to the newest Ubuntu. Everything is running fine, including Photoshop CS2 and such, but my only problem is the way fonts are displayed. I screwed around with the font settings and got them a bit better, and I even imported the entire Windows fonts folder from my backup, but it's still funky. Bold zeros look all pixely and blurry. Any one know why this happens or a way to fix it? Thanks.

Could it possibly be you screen resolution?

[d3monic]

Screen resolution is fine because the images and such are not pixely or oddly shaped. Only certain characters in various applications.

Ubuntu has a problem with screen resolutions and fonts/text.

Only hope I can give you is that, this will has been fixed for 9.04, so wait until that is released and upgrade
