Default Ugly fonts

Having in mind that this will sound quite rude, I have to say that with openSUSE 11.1 the ugly fonts problem is at their worst ever.

KDE 4 applications are more or less OK. KDE3 applications has yet different fonts. Firefox and other GTK applications are in their own world of ugly fonts, and OpenOffice is somewhere in between. Not to mention Java/Eclipse based applications, e.g. Lotus Notes.

Any idea how to de-uglify :-) those fonts? I'd be more than happy to write a document on how to set nice fonts in suse, especially as I have to do that after each system upgrade.

FWIW, I have openSUSE 10.3 set up pritty nicely, and I avoided upgrades for this ugly fonts problem only...

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

On the good side, openSUSE 11.1 seems to run faster (!) than 10.3 on the same hardware! Way to go, SUSE Team! :-)

Cheers
