Tkinter LCD sub-pixel rendering in Ubuntu

Anyone know how to get Tkinter text in Ubuntu on an LCD screen to show up as something other than monochrome?  The text is all blocky.  My fonts look fine everywhere else (including with WxPython).

I want to try out Tkinter instead of WxPython for a few reasons:
1. I can change the font color on my machine . . .
2. It comes with Python (and so there's no need to install/compile extra software).

But, alas, the fonts are blocky on my computer.  Hmm.  Well, I guess they wouldn't be on most people's.  I could just make the program in both WxPython and Tkinter.
