For those of you complaining about fonts (and equally for those of you saying that fonts look ok in SuSE 9), that's because something got badly broken in SuSE 10. In 9.x everything looked great. Fonts worked beautifully. But in SuSE 10 they are a disaster.

Not upgrading to 10 until this gets fixed. Fonts on Linux (speaking from a RedHat background) were always so ugly, one of the most offputting things - made even the most attractive website look terrible. When I upgraded to SuSE, it was such a relief to see it done properly. Smooth fonts working properly everywhere. SuSE really need to fix this font problem that they introduced in SuSE 10, no way I want to go back to the days of RedHat 6 fonts.

What are those complaints? And what is it that's supposed to be broken?

Fonts look great on the two SuSE 10 installations I've done, if anything anti-aliasing has improved since 9.3.

In my experience the sans fonts on 10 are mostly perfect. It's the serif fonts which are awful. All of them, and they haven't always been <em>this</em> awful.
