Prettier Fonts in X?

routecoder asks: "X11 is great, but one of its significant disadvantages is its treatment of fonts. Netscape in X11 is frankly ugly, fonts are chunky, they scale poorly making some sites are hard to read. Are there any good tools available to make X prettier? If not, what would it take to build more asthetically pleasing font support?" This has always been one of the largest complaints about X11 that I've heard from many Microsoft supporters. Is XFree86 v4 going to address any of these issues? How substantial would changes need to be to make font support in X comparable to or better than that which is in Windows.
