Distortion could be, just could be, due to how your notebook's native 1024x768 resolution fixed grid transistors, on screen redraw, automatically reinterporlate pixels. Just for the heck of it, can you try connecting your notebook to an external monitor, then try all screen adaptor modes to see if fonts still look like cooties?
