That may be a symptom of a "ClearType" setting problem.
It is a new default for IE7 but it may not be appropriate
for all monitors.

You can change it for IE7-only in Options, Advanced, Browsing section
In XPsp2 you can change it using Display Properties, Appearance tab,

Yikes. I just got a reminder of why I turned it off. YMMV.


Apparently there is a ClearType tuning tool you can download
if you do decide to leave it enabled but still aren't satisfied
with the appearance of some text. (Perhaps I should try it? <w>)

(MSN search for
cleartype tuning download site:microsoft.com
)

because I don't know how applicable it is to your OS.


Good luck
