I'm not sure what you're seeing but, when I first started running galeon
a couple days ago, I noticed a big difference between the way galeon and
mozilla rendered slashcode based sites (slashdot, debianplanet, etc). I
think the way I fixed it was to install libgdkxft0 (which is a
recommended package for mozilla). I also use monotype-arial fonts from
the msttcorefonts package, which looks better than most of the standard
X fonts, IMHO.
