This monitor is an LCD one, right? Did you configure X to use sub-pixel font rendering? Text doesn't look nice in LCD monitors without this.
Just to be picky, that's not necessarily the case. LCDs can show fonts quite nicely without it. But if you're using a system that draws fonts in an ugly manner without it (e.g. FC3, FC4, haven't tested FC5), yes it's the case. It seems to be the design of the fonts used by Fedora, as well as the font rendering system. Other things can draw very neat looking fonts that only occupy one pixel width.
Yes, some systems display fonts better than others without sub-pixel rendering. However, I'm yet to see a system, Linux or not, in which text will not look nicer on LCDs after setting up sub-pixel rendering. When it's well configured, the difference is huge, specially on small fonts.
