Looks normal to me. Maybe an optomologist can help.

You could try messing around with the cleartype controls. I think there was a thread about it a while back.

Oh I'm in my last few weeks of this semester.. I'm getting work piled on. That, and I'm really clueless about a lot of the questions that have been posted recently..

I'm not sure if it's the case but it's possible this is a monitor problem in which case the Screen Shot would show what things are suppose to look like and not what your monitor shows.
You may want to look at that Screen Shot on another computer to see if it's the monitor that is the problem.

@taybay, Well in any case, we missed you. Hope your finals will go well. How many more semesters do you have?
@jd, I think you are right. We had this case a while ago. It showed OK from a screenshot but not on the posters screen.
