The fonts in Thunderbird look somewhat crappy when using the RPM supplied with MDV Spring.

I downloaded a copy of Thunderbird from Mozilla, and when I launch that it looks a lot better.

I've noticed that Open Office also looks pretty bad... Any ideas?

I've included examples of what I am on about.

It's also helpful to install the free MS Core fonts.
There are a few extra settings you can do if you use the proprietary nvidia or ati driver, and also if you use the GTk-QT appearance widget:
