How so? What's worse? Does it look pixelated at the edges? Could it
just be something as simple as anti-aliasing turned on by default in
one but not the other? Could you try running the following command
on both OSes and put screenshots of the resulting windows up on a
web page somewhere?

	xterm -fa 'Liberation Mono' -e 'man ascii | col -b | sed "1,/Tables/d" | less'

Also, try the same thing with another font, such as LucidaTypewriter.
