This is because the default version of tk is 8.4, which does not support antialiased fonts. If you want, you can
  aptitude install tk8.5
  update-alternatives --config wish
and select wish8.5.

(8.5 is currently the default in Debian experimental <http://bugs.debian.org/515984>. Once that goes into unstable it will eventually make its way into Ubuntu.)
