Letters Overlap on Presentation?

[Furor4Celtica]

I am currently working on a presentation about the history of the Japanese Empire. I am using CorelVideoStudio Ultimate, purchased two months ago. I am trying to add a slide to show my sources. Whenever I add text to my slides, I cannot help but notice the characters/letters appear to be jumbled up. It is almost as if the letters are overlapping. This looks terrible, and I have tried all kinds of ways to fix this, such as trying different font styles/sizes. All to no avail. If anyone could help me I would be grateful. I have attached a screen cap to show you what I mean by the letters overlapping clumsily (look at the words 'what if' and most of the letters one the last line). Many thanks in advance!

Two things,
1- you are using bold font.
2- you have black shadow/border on it. and it's too large

For the last 15 years VS do not have font kerning setting and unfortunately it will be the same for the next 15 years.
