This can be an indication that you're using the wrong subpixel order for 
your screen.  Different LCDs have the 3 basic colours in different 
orders.  If you use the wrong hinting for the order you have on your 
screen things will look worse rather than better.

I can't remember offhand where this is set, but there will be an option 
to change it.
