I have just upgraded my system from Xubuntu 9.10 to Xubuntu 10.04, it seems to me that the sharpness seems to have subtly deteriorated. I have checked some of the obvious things (like the screen resolution hasn't been changed).
It was most immediately noticeable in my terminal windows but, on looking carefully, I think the effect is general, it's just that I use smaller font sizes in my terminals than elsewhere.
Has anyone any ideas what I should maybe be checking to see what might have caused this?
It could of course be that I'm getting older and my eyesight is failing! :-)

1. Different video timings? Is your monitor connected by VGA? If so, press the auto-tune button.
2. Sub-pixel anti-aliasing? I find I have to turn it off when I can see red and blue fringing on text, especially with Microsoft's implementation (ClearType (tm)).
Hope this helps, Tim.

No, it's a DVI connection so that's out.

No colour fring(e)ing but I'll try that, thanks.
