Have the same problem on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A110 (has Intel 945 GM or something).

Here's what I did:

From CD boot the desktop (as if you wanted to try the OS first) not the installer. You may get a working desktop without font scaling problems from which you can launch the installer and perhaps successfully install the OS onto your harddisk(s). Reboot your machine. You may still get a login manager with improperly scaled fonts. Try to log in even if you can't see/read your login data. You may again get a proper looking desktop. Some apps may not work properly - my mythfrontend is squashed horizontally. Installing the git fix (found elsewhere) fixes the login manager on my machine but breaks mythfrontend.

Good Luck!
