Crummy Fonts in Moz 1.7.2

[Olwe Melwasul]

I recently got the latest Mozilla 1.7.2 and set it up independent of 
Fedora 2 (because I didn't know how to "integrate it" with/supersede the 
original 1.6 that came with it). I then began to notice how unaliased 
and crummy the fonts looked. Then on a hunch I opened the F2 version 
(1.6) and the fonts look fine! What gives?
