I find font-lock modes to be illegible and highly annoying.  Is there 
any way I can turn them off, completely, across the board, entirely, 
throughout my emacs?

(global-font-lock-mode 0) doesn't seem to work.  I have it in my 
.emacs.el and I'm setting it manually and still when I visit a new file, 
or any of a number of popup buffers arrive, they still have illegible 
font-lock color settings.

Theres some bug here; certainly a doc-bug.
global-font-lock-mode's doc refers to
turn-on-font-lock-if-desired but that is undocumented

Both in emacs23 and 24

Sadly, no, not without a lot of tweaking.

It may be more fruitful (and also more beneficial for others) to
report your annoyances as bugs (M-x report-emacs-bug), so they get
fixed in future releases.  The fact that there's no easy way of
turning it off may be a reason for one such bug report.
