Thank you for the response.

I put this in my local.conf file, and restarted Evolution. The fonts
changed to a fixed width font, and are easier to read, but the letters
are still not right. It seems that the parts of the letters that are
curves or angles such as "V" or "S", have a jagged look to them.

I'll try some other settings, and see if I can get some more
information.

Thanks again.
