Microsoft office powerpoint 2007 help?

I've typed a title in microsoft office powerpoint in the font AR CENA. It's bold, underlined, and shadowed, and 8 other titles use the exact same formatting. It has 22 characters, and the other titles have a few more, or a few less characters. But on this title, whatever size I make it, the first few characers appear smuged, apart from when I'm editing the text. Any help? Thanks.
