You can’t evaluate the image in FCP’s Canvas – you are only seeing one field, and if you are working with non-square pixels as you are, the view is also being scaled. Since you also see the issue on your monitor, you should make sure you are rendering your Motion project in FCP (assuming you are embedding your Motion projects) at best quality by selecting your sequence, choosing Sequence > Settings, going to the Render Control tab, and making the changes there.
You might want to take a look at this:

I wouldn’t use a replicator or an emitter – this is a perfect application of a shape – any shape with an outline and no fill, set to solid, can have an arrow head that you can adjust, and you can set any control points to set the path of the arrow. Then use a write-on behavior to animate the arrow along the path.

I’d think Mocha would be the way to go for this shot.

Make each line of text it’s own layer with it’s own fade in/fade out behavior.

Duplicate the text layer, create the outline on the duplicate, and place that layer on top.

The outline can be a little chunky so try blurring it – I tried adding a levels filter after blurring to tighten it back up but was surprised that it had no effect.
