Using Precise, Ubuntu session. I experience fuzzy fonts in the panel when using Radiance or any other theme that has font shadows. A similar issue seems to be present also in the unity-2d panel, #977080
The same workaround mentioned in that bug-report - namely disabling text-shadows in the panel - works for me for the 3D compiz-based panel. As suggested by jihedamine:

open /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.0/apps/unity.css
and add "text-shadow: none;" inside
.unity-panel.menubar,
.unity-panel .menubar {
}

so you get :

.unity-panel.menubar,
.unity-panel .menubar {
    text-shadow: none;
}
