Ok, I changed the font to 100dpi and wow what an improvement.
I had to go to the /etc/X11/fs/config file with the advanced text editor and
switcheded everything that was 75 to 100 and all that was 100 to 75. Of course
you have to install the 100dpi fonts off the installation CD. Then I shut down
and restarted and it is wonderful. Thanks Tom for the hints toward the right
direction.
At 800X600 the 75dpi fonts are fine, but above that the 75dpi fonts are too
small on my 17" monitor. Now it is great.

Take a look at /etc/X11/XF86Config. You'll see that unlike
my example above, your '75dpi' fonts are above your '100 dpi'
fonts. Just switch 'em, 50% font improvement, and it's that
easy.
