I'm new to image editing...and I'm gonna get into basic tuts and stuff but I just want to know, and can't seem to find, how to fix the leftover surrounding pixels on an image after you fill a whole section with one color.

What should I be using to clean this up? I assume gimp has the same tool names as PS

oh, and uhm yeah...sharpening obviously worsens it and blur kinda failed for me.

Use the pen tool to fill the area.
It should come smooth and nice.

Try increasing the selection of the magic wand, this happens because the pixels left over are slightly different colour from the ones you selected. By increasing the selection you'll ask it to select colours that are the same as the white, and also very similar. The higher the number, the more colour range you'll select...
Hard to explain, so if you don't get me just do what Aero says.

decrease the sensitivity of the color fill, and hit the few remaining pixels with the pen tool

fortunately for you, this is black on white, so even a very low sensitivity shouldn't mess it up.

Ah, I think the option in GIMP is threshold under 'finding similar colors'. That worked quite nicely and it's much less noticeable now.

trust me, use the pentool to trace the are you wanna fill and it should come out nice and smooth

Yeah, but...when it's across a 600 pixel width...eh
I'm lazy
