I have heard of some issue with fonts not being clear on certain flat screen monitors, I read somewhere about it recently, and a simple configuration option can clear up those fonts for you. Try googling for linux blurry fonts or Suse blurry fonts. Hopefully you'll find the solution. I think it has something to do with refresh rates, or bad fonts.

It's just one link, there are as many as you like.

If you would know they are TrueType you could Google them, huh?

Here's some information about the True Type Font technology for those who think it's Microsoft who owns them. Or even invented them, which is not true.
