You should be able to set default font, size and text color in the control panel.

And when you set the default font and color, select that the website cannot override your default selection.

1. Clean your eyeglasses.
2. Try adjusting brightness and contrast.
3. Ask someone with good eyes to check your monitor.
4. If your friend from 3 says it's OK, get your eyes checked for glaucoma.

You can hold down CTRL on the left and move your center wheel to make your font bigger if that helps.

The center wheel is on your mouse.

Here is what the first letter of post #1 looks like on my monitor magnified:

The text is nominally black. However, only the cross-bar in the H is really black (rgb(0, 0, 0)). The rest of the letter has been fudged by anti-aliasing algorithms in order to achieve a smoother screen appearance. E.g., the left edge is dark-red (rgb(101, 0, 0)), and the right edge is a dark blue (rgb(0, 53, 154)).

You might also want to get your blood sugar checked. High blood sugar (from type 2 diabetes) can cause vision issues.
