Installation issue Macbook Pro 1,2

I'm trying to install arch on my old 17" Macbook Pro and when I try installing it all the text is off. It's off in the sense that random letters are completely different from what they are supposed to be like "Linux" might look like "Fin(x" and such. I know my macbook is old, and has overheating problems and the display has a ton of dead or stuck pixels, but has anyone ever heard of this issue or should I just abandon installing anything on it? It's served me for a good 4 years and currently runs Ubuntu 9.10 (For about a half hour before it overheats and locks up) and I'm debating just buying a netbook and installing linux on it.
