hmm, i looked into the "User interface" setting (which btw does use a
lowercase i for the word interface).  i changed the "Hinting" to
"Medium", which makes the font look pretty (as it does in gnome).  i
guess this means that gnome is telling apps to use medium hinting by
default whereas xfce defaults to "Full".  i personally think that
medium hinting looks better.  i would recommend it as the xfce default
also.

thanks.
