Are you using the Mozilla that came with Mandrake or the Mozilla from mozilla.org? I used a contributed build linked to from the Mozilla website. It's at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#1.5 - you need to make sure you pick one of the XFT enabled builds. It's XFT that gives you the nice anti-aliased fonts.

If you do that, the fonts should look lovely. I don't know why this isn't the default package, but I'm sure there's a good but terribly obscure technical reason.
