Answer 1

Smoothing is a feature of the system. Anti-aliasing from Windows, as far as I know, is not yet used for Linux due to Microsoft / Apple patents. But you can try the Roboto or Droid fonts. They are not bad, especially for code editing.

Answer 2

Dig into your system's font settings and turn on sub-pixel anti-aliasing and full hinting, the quality of the fonts will improve a lot.
