I find the opposite.

2.0 fonts in Ubuntu 9.04 & 9.10 (gnome) are clean, clear, well spaced,
etc. However, when I switch to 1.1.18 (same machine) the fonts are
skinny, harder to read, and rather irritating. Both are set for:
Western
Sans Serif - 16
DejaVu Serif
DejaVu Sans
Brush Script MT
Brush Script MT
monospace - 15
15
