This is a stylesheet issue.  They look crafty here too (Firefox 3.5
running under X11 on FreeBSD), but only if my Firefox preferences are
set to "Allow pages to select their own fonts":

The CSS style of the website uses a .font-family value of:

    Optimer,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif

'Optimer' is not available here, and 'Helvetica' is a bitmap font.  So
the display of characters looks edgy at large font sizes.

I'm not a web designer myself, but things may look better with a font
family that is more likely to be a vector font on UNIX too, i.e.:

    Optimer,DejaVuSans,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif

or just 'sans-serif'.
