Mine's 130x130 dpi, here.  I used to filter out the worst font assumptions
using privoxy, just as I have a rather complex set of filters designed to
enforce my preferred light text on a dark background, without eliminating
the color information entirely, as well as the usual ad-filters and the
like.  Now, I find Konqueror's minimum/normal font size settings seem to
work quite well, and a quick Control-Scrollwheel font-zooms if Konqueror
doesn't get it quite right.
