Check under System->Preferences->Look and Feel->Appearance->Fonts.
Turn on "subpixel smoothing" to get the font chopping to go away, and
then go to Details and set the resolution to 130 or so (whatever you
find most comfortable).

Did the battery indicator light (right beside the power light) turn
red before it shut down?  It's supposed to turn red when the battery
is below 10% power.  If it didn't, you might have a slightly confused
battery that doesn't quite know how charged it is.  This is somewhat
common with XOs, and there's a procedure to reset the batteries to get
them back to their full (~4 hour) life span.  See
<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_LiFePO4_Recovery_Procedure> for more
information.
