The text foreground colour can be changed on the "Looks" page of the
options. The default is a light grey (191,191,191) in order to leave
room for the bright attribute. Setting it to proper white (255,255,255)
might make a difference. Regarding blurriness, it might be worth trying
the different font smoothing methods (none, anti-aliased, "ClearType").
