Aha.  I see the same thing; I hadn't tried printing before.
Furthermore, I notice that even though these documents are almost
unreadable on my screen at any reasonable reading zoom factor, the
*more* I zoom in, the *sharper* they get.  Actually it looks like the
document is being rendered with a constant screen resolution of
several pixels and an antialias filter so that as the absolute size
of the characters gets greater, they appear *relatively* sharper.
