I'm still not sure what you are doing...what is your text, exactly? A 
text object, some other object, or a partly transparent image_map?
And I've never had "jaggies" make things look out of focus...are you 
referring to the stairstepping of the pixels? Are you using antialiasing 
and talking about the blending along these steps? Are you using focal 
blur?
If you use an image map, try a text object or a higher resolution image 
map, or try the various interpolation options. If you are using 
antialiasing, turn it off or use higher quality settings, otherwise turn 
it on. If you are using a text object, make sure it is very thin.

What effect exactly do you mean? A control on the screen, or an image of 
a control panel in your scene?
