Regarding the fuzzy fonts, I may not understand the particular problem here, but perhaps this will help. There is some issue with Snow Leopard not activating sub-pixel antialiasing on some monitors that don't report that they are a LCD. Other causes of fuzzy fonts are running your display at non-native resolutions, unusual subpixel ordering, incorrect monitor profile, perhaps bad fonts?
One fix is to force antialiasing on with this command in Terminal:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
You need to log out and back in to fully take effect. The number at the end can be one of the following:
* 0 - CRT rendering (looks horrible on LCD)
* 1 - Light smoothing
* 2 - Medium (Best for Flat Panel)
* 3 - Strong
You can reset with:
defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing
or in the Appearance System Preference, uncheck "Use LCD font smoothing when available".
