My setup is somewhat different (14", 1024x768), but I find my fonts very
pleasant.  I use 10 point Verdana and Andale Mono, with subpixel
rendering enabled and full hinting at 96 dpi.  (These are all set in
gnome-font-properties).

I think I also have autohinting enabled via dpkg-reconfigure (this is an
Ubuntu system).  It's hard to be sure, because the little include files
in /etc/fonts/fonts/conf.d have both choices, and I do not know which
one overrides which.
