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:

And a link in a comment on this page offers something for Google Chrome:
