Mmmm... how about specifying:

Option   "DPI" "96 x 96"

Under your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf "Monitor" section?

(make a backup copy of the original file before making any change)

I can't tell if that made a change or not. In either case, the fonts still look like garbage/aren't easy to read. I should note, the fonts in what I'm typing right now (gmail) aren't bad -- it's the fonts on the menu bar in iceweasel/icedove/whatever program.
