I'm trying to get a white font against black; that's working, but it looks 'murky', as if there is a shadow or doubles. I'm making my changes in a custom css. I tried the padding 'fix', but Firebug says no padding is there -- at least that is how I understood it.

There is a CSS call that is causing the shadow in your style.css
.archive-page ul li, .entry-content ul li {
list-style-type: none;
text-shadow: 1px 1px white;Thank you! This has helped me so much. I also copied the css for this theme and took it to the html/css client; I could use Control F to find the area you found faster and get some idea where is would be located in the CSS. I changed the shadow to zero instead of 1 which lets me keep the code in case I want it back.
I just use Google Chrome and do Inspect Element on an element I want to see CSS for. It helps me sort out where an issue is coming from.
