I don't know of a way to change the font, but you could make it bigger,
which may make it easier to read:

If you have a mouse with a wheel, you should be able to hold the Ctrl
key and roll the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the font size.

If not, you can change the font size in Internet Explorer:
1. In IE, choose View>Text Size
2. Choose one of the sizes, e.g. Medium, or Larger.
