So after tinkering around here is what I found.

As far as I can tell, the anti-aliasing changes don't seem to do much.

However, what I found is if I manually change the fonts to topaz 8/9 (bitmap) I the text is legible, but tiny. fixed fonts do NOT display correctly.

So things like my desktop icons and the fonts inside folders still look a mess..

I'm figuring it out, but I am NOT sure what the issue is...
