Does anybody know if there is a color theme like the TextMate Dawn theme, for Emacs ? I simply don't like the way the fonts look on my dark emacs theme and I am not sure if it's emacs's fault or just the theme.

Here's a comparison:

Um, why do you have a dark Emacs?

Do M-x color-theme-select (maybe you'll need to install color-theme first: do sudo apt-get install emacs-goodies-el or see Emacswiki page), and pick a light one. There are lots; many with "light" or "gray" in their name. (I like Greiner, Wheat, Snow, etc.)

Also, maybe you want to turn on/off anti-aliasing?

    For some reason, this answer suggesting light color themes like [TextMate's Dawn theme](http://wiki.macromates.com/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes) that the OP wants is repeatedly downvoted, while the other answer recommending a dark theme exactly unlike what the OP wants is upvoted. :-| I will of course delete this answer if it's unhelpful, but I'd really like to know why it's thought so. – ShreevatsaR May 10 '11 at 04:47

After installing color-theme for Emacs:

You can download this theme which is similar to the TextMate color scheme:
