Hi, is there any easy fix to resolve the appearance of the fonts on
Linux?  At this time, the fonts appear to be very grainy (i.e. not
anti-aliased) as they appear in other application on Ubuntu 12.04.

A colleague recently experimented with his new Ubuntu install and came to the conclusion, that you have to install the following two font packages:
 xfonts-100dpi
 xfonts-75dpi

I did not try it myself (stuck to Windows here), but he seems to be happy with the results.

Jan, thanks for the information and I'll give it a try.

It seems to help.

Don't forget to restart the machine after you installed those packages. It's not beautiful but definitely better than before.
