??? Yo Dong, I dunno if DongDong is a ScreenName or a real name, but in 
either case I think you about the last person to make fun of him; get it Mr. 
Dong?  And if I'm gonna get my mailbox crammed with discussion posts I do 
not want one that is so mind-blowingly inane as that.

But back to the topic

If u have un-antialised check and it doesn't solve it, I'd suggest you check 
if the new mozilla uses a different font from you old one.  If you've 
changed the font and it still looks messed up try installing Truetype fonts. 
  I personally like my fonts antialiased (YES I AM SPOILED BY XP) so if you 
want to keep it instrall vera fonts by bitstream.

If all else fails check if the new version uses XFT1 or XFT2, I think I 
remember something about redhat 9 using XFT2 while Mozilla stuck with XFT1 
as default.  I think Mozilla might have builds for XFT2 so get that.
