Evolution 1.2 doesn't use the cool GNOME2 smoothed fonts, and neither
does Mozilla unless you have an XFT/GTK2 build.  This might explain the
jagged/blocky problems. ;-)

Basically, any GTK1.2 app won't use the GNOME2 font settings.  Redhat
has a patch for this, I think, but neither Debian nor GNOME-proper uses
it.  (Which is silly, I think - it's a feature that shoul dbe there...)
