I think it looks reasonable for that resolution (1024x768).  Are you sure
you can't run at a higher res?  

I find anti-aliasing makes things worse at low resolution because you
can see each pixel individually.  Try switching it off.

A big difference between Windows-Xp and X-window may be the quality of
the installed scalable fonts.  It is fiercely difficult to produce
quality hinting for true-type fonts (much easier for Type-1).  Monotype
TimesNewRoman is a very well hinted font and is the default on MSWin.
(Maybe Microsoft has claimed "authorship" now.)  See if you can use
it on your Linux system (download "Windows core fonts" or some such.)
