Get yourself the bitstream fonts, they are really very nice.  You can
get the webfonts and bitstream fonts by doing this:

# cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/bitstream-vera/
# make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/webfonts/
# make install clean

I think you also want to make sure you have in your X config file:

Load  "freetype"      # put this in the module section

and as suggested above put these in your files section:

FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"
FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"

Then restart the X server and you should be able to setup your fonts
in the settings panel of gnome somewhere (I dont use gnome) to the
bitstream fonts.  They are very clean.
