Keith,
There have been several mails about this problem and should be in the
archives. Fuzzy fonts and the like on LCD screens. I guess some of
the first things you might want to take a look at is the KDE settings.
Make sure the anti-aliasing is turned on. Also, be sure you are not
running the monitor beyond it's recommended screen size. I believe for
a 15" it would be 1024x768?

The last thing I can think of is the bytecode setting in freetype2.
Some have turned that on and recompiled the rpm. It seems to have
helped several using a LCD to clear up the font outlines. It's already
in the spec file of the src.rpm, so just edit that, recompile and
install the new rpms.

Also, check the archives again for more on this subject, there are mails
there.
