Delete your type layer, then change your resolution to atleast 72dpi then retype your copy.

Don't forget to try using smoothing or crips etc for the text.

You'll notice that when you select the text tool you also get a list of options from the toolbar that appears at the top of the work area. There is an option with two small case 'a' letters. Select the drop down menu and choose smooth to see if it helps you out.

:) If you ever want to print text, make sure it's 150dpi or higher to get crisp looking text on paper.
