I get this too. I was on ubuntu before using gedit and I allways tought
that the font rendering problem was an issue with Ubuntu itself, then I
switched to Xubuntu and was stuck with mousepad. Used it for a while,
didnt notice anything special about the font, I thought I was just used
to crappy font rendering. Then I got tired of mousepad and its lack of
features and installed gedit, i saw the problem RIGHT AWAY. I tought it
was just the font, so I set up the same font as mousepad Droid Sans Mono
11 and opened the same document side by side in both, and OMG i CANNOT
stand to look at gedit, it gives me the never ending feeling that I need
glasses...

I am sorry but whoever decided this was a low priority bug has its
priority in the wrong places.

  Font rendering is broken

  Writer, Tomboy notes, and various system uses like title bars.
