Characters are blurry and hard to read
Characters in the document seem to be at the wrong resolution for my screen. They appear blurred and are hard to read. My screen is at 1024 x 768. All other programs display crisp, readable fonts. I checked the properties and the fonts are either "Type 1C, Embedded" or "TrueType, Embedded Subset".
I've tried zooming in closer. Only at 200%, which is quite large, are they rather sharp; but even then, there is a slight blurred edge. Much smaller fonts are sharp looking in all other programs.

"which graphic card and graphic driver do you use?"
How do I check that in Ubuntu Hardy? I tried "Hardware Drivers" and it was empty.
Goto System-
And try a different Refresh Rate

I just looked up my computer specs. My graphics card is an Intel 950.

There is only one refresh rate available in the drop-down menu: 60 Hz

OK
Try running displayconfig-gtk as root and modifying the resolution
(to run the program as root Press Alt +f2 then type gksu xterm and then type in the terminal displayconfig-gtk)
Please try to press CTRL+ALT+"+" and/or CTRL+ALT+"-" to dynamically change video frequency
or press CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE to restart graphics layer.
Reconfiguring your xserver-xorg may help you.
A) If you can view graphics Gnome desktop
Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
and jump to step C
B) If you cannot view graphics Gnome desktop
Please press CTRL+ALT+F2 and make login with your user and password
and go on to step C
C)
To make a backup copy of your actual /etc/X11/xorg.conf type:
cd /etc/X11
sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Then try to reconfigure your xserver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
answer to the simple questions, then restart the pc.
If something goes wrong you can restore the saved copy of your old configuration, open a terminal or login to a virtual terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F2 and type:
cd /etc/X11
sudo cp xorg.conf.bak xorg.conf
and restart the pc, type:
sudo reboot
Or you can try to enable font smoothing
