Konstantin:

I played around with the Fonts applet as you suggested, but no real
difference. It did clean them up a tiny bit in the current resolution,
but as soon as I switched to a resolution like 1920x1200, it was
unreadably fuzzy.

I also did as you suggested of placing the Modes line in my Display
section, but no change after I restarted X.

I also looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and saw:

Not sure if this points to an issue or not.
