There's also the possibility that the text isn't being drawn properly aligned to the pixel grid.

You need to post a screenshot of what you're seeing.

I can think of two possibilities off the top of my head:
1) You're rendering text into a CALayer (especially a CATextLayer).
Without some tweaking, CALayer can't do subpixel antialiasing (aka LCD
antialiasing), because it doesn't have the existing backing store to
composite against.
2) You're overdrawing the text and are therefore ruining the
antialiasing, producing a distorted image.

Again, screenshot is pretty much mandatory here.
