A couple of possibilities. In the main menu, click Settings ->
Appearance. In that dialog, click the "Font" tab. From there, you can
choose suitable font settings. Check you have a decent font (Droid Sans
and DejaVu Sans are good places to start). Turn on anti-aliasing and, if
you have an LCD monitor, check the "sub-pixel order" matches your
hardware (you may want a magnifying glass :)

If that doesn't help, then it maybe that you have a theme that only
supports GTK2 (many applications are switching to GTK3 these days). Try
"Bluebird" (from the murrine-themes package) for a nice modern theme.
