Thought I'd give this one another try, but the jagged font problem remains. Googling left me discouraged. Others had the same problem. I'm not sure there is a solution. Tried everything again. Not necessarily in this order:

Installed 10.6.8 combo updater
Resolved duplicates and verified fonts w/Font Book
Ran all Onxy options
Safe boot to reset Font database and Font book
Zapped PRAM
Manually removed fonts per advice on http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
Re-installed fonts from 10.6.3 retail disc using Pacifist
Re-installed 10.6.8 combo updater

Ran Software Update which gave me the following choices (I didn't download them):
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 17
Epson printer software update
Safari 5.1.10
Security Update 2013-004
Migration Asst update for snow leopard
Apple Software Installer update
itunes 11.4

Out of ideas. I'm not going to erase the hard drive.
