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.

http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.scdb.200033625/default.html

will show the same page as the image.

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. 

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.
