I've never used MacOS X, but in MacOS 9 there's the Appearance Control
Panel that has a Smooth option in the Fonts section. It may or may not
help, but is worth a try.

There's also a Shareware Control Panel called SmoothType which may be
another fairly cheap possibility worth trying, you can download it for
free from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/4070 to try
and it costs US$10 to register.
