The font HOWTO is at:

I highly recommend using xfstt and grabbing all your windows true-type
fonts.  Then you can go into Edit->Preferences in Netscape to fix it and
make it better.

Also, if you're running at a higher resolution, change the order of your
/etc/XF86Config file to reflect something similar to:

Section "Files"
  RgbPath       "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
  FontPath      "unix/:7100"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection

The idea of that is to put the 100dpi lines before the 75dpi
lines...your flavor may vary.

Good luck!
