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:

A: 

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?

After installing color-theme for Emacs:

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