eeepc 1000HE fonts?

I installed fedora 11 on my 1000he netbook and I have a question for those who have fedora on an eeepc. I find the fonts in Firefox difficult to read, for example it seem when I view web forums the text is not clear and difficult to read. I have tried some of the different font settings in the system/appearance settings but I could not fix the problem yet. Does anyone else have this problem or has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

The fonts in the fedora menus and the desk top are easy to read. I also have Fedora 11 on my Inspiron 6000 with 1920x1200 resolution screen and the fonts are easy to read.

I spent more time adjusting the fonts size and dpi settings and it seems to be better now.

I have the same netbook and I have found the following settings work best for me:



I did not change any font sizes, and I also install the truetype fonts from here:

I ended up with my dpi set to 96 and I have one of the font sizes set to 8 and the others to 6. Thanks for the link. How did you take a screen shot of the window, is it just ctrl printscreen?
