Oh gack.  This one is my fault.

I'm using Arial at home, but at work I was using adobe-helvetica.  I
guess it was a bitmapped font or something, anyway it looked bad.

I installed the new free Bitstream Vera TrueType fonts and switched to
using those with the xft: method, and it looks sweet now!  You do have
to remember to put in the minspace=True, I find, because the default is
definitely False and you definitely get too much space above/below the
font without minspace=True.

Cool!


And sorry about the false alarm...
