Yeah Second Life really doesn't like Intel graphics. On my laptop it runs unbearably slow and occasionally I have the text problem you are talking about although I'm not exactly sure why sometimes it's there and sometimes it isn't.
But one thing that helps me is bumping up the UI size on the general tab of preferences to 1.1. Tends to smooth out the text even though it does make the UI take up a little more space.

You might benefit from going to the Intel site and updating your video drivers.

also, make sure to reset your settings. I found a nasty UI bug on updating to 1.20.15, it could be as simple as cleaning out the user settings file located at: (start > all programs >accessories> RUN) %appdata%\roaming\second life\user_settings
