FWIW, I find it helpful that when an image is posted that the actual link also be posted so that folks looking at it can compare what they see on their system alongside of what the OP is seeing.
I concur.
In my case my display looks just fine compared with the image. It seems my system is picking a different font to use as to what the OP's system is using.
On mine, it looks reasonable. The chosen font size is a bit on the small side, actually quite a bit on the small side, so it's not going to look the greatest.
For what it's worth, I'm using a laptop with an LCD screen, and the appropriate subpixel smoothing for LCDs option is chosen.
Grumble: I hate web incompetents who cluelessly think that its a good idea to specify *smaller* *than* *normal* font sizes for main body text.
I wonder...is there a simply way to determine what fonts are being used/displayed? I've never looked into it or thought much about it.
I've wished that a few times, too. I seem to recall that there was a way of doing it (without going into something gory like stracing, or something similar, while Firefox was browsing the page). Perhaps this browser plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4415/
And a link in a comment on this page offers something for Google Chrome: http://forum.weborum.com/index.php?showtopic=4134
