Seems like a driver compatibility issue, where the driver missinteroperates SDL and draws the text wrong, I'd say the only possible chance of a fix is a new graphics card, or reinstalling the OS after a format and then new driver installs.
I don't think there is an easy solution here, sorry.
[EDIT] but do what dargon said first.
[EDIT]err hello? well I'll add a + to this if there is no response for another 24 hours.
