Text added over images is fuzzy: VS 7.0 SE

Nature of the problem:

Using the Title tab to add text over images, the text appears sharp and clearly defined when adding it in.

However, when I run the project, or render it, the text appears fuzzy, poorly defined, and difficult to read.

It doesn't seem to matter what text font I use, but I am using Cataneo BT font sizes 18 and 24.


Properties of your source files (format, file size, where did you get it?) :

Source files are JPEG photos of various sizes and resolutions, some taken with a PowerShot A10, others taken with a Nikon D70. It does not seem to matter how good the photo is, the text still gets a lousy rendering.

What devices are involved and their mode of connection?

No devices involved. Just JPEG files.
