I've just followed some advice on askubuntu and installed gnome-shell over lubuntu. Everything went smooth, apart from the fonts that look different and ugly (as in some java programs). I've tried with xubuntu and it's the same. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks CoalaWeb, your post was very useful and it solved my problem. However I would like to point out that using Gnome shell over xubuntu on my Sony Vaio was not a good idea. It may be faster and take less space on HD, but fan is constantly in use and system monitor showed its 4 CPUs at about 50% load.

Hey dude, there's no such "gnome settings application" on xubuntu or lubuntu ;)

Well he installed the gnome shell didn't he. Doesn't it come with a settings panel?
