What sort of font settings are you using? Your setup looks a lot crisper than mine.

Literally my only font settings. What version of Emacs are you running? Pre Emacs 23 it didn't do any kind of antialiasing when rendering fonts or use whatever subpixel font rendering the host was using (ie, ClearType, whatever) so it looked sort of looked like jaggy rear end.

I'm using emacs 23. I've been using bitmap fonts forever since emacs couldn't render fonts properly and every time I've switched to a real font it seemed kind of "off" to me. I guess I just need to adjust.
