Make Ubuntu fonts sharper

Question

In the last two months I'm trying to do a complete transition from Windows 7 to Ubuntu.

There is something that is really missing. I really like the sharp and think fonts in windows (I'm not talking about the font type - 'Arial','Consolas' atc.).

I think that the Ubuntu fonts looks better, but after several hours I feel like my eyes are really tired.

BTW - I have the same problem with the Apple computer at work too (MacBook pro).

Is it a theme issue? Can i change it by configuration? Can you recommend a solution?
