All I have in my head is a few decades of experience in troubleshooting
software (and hardware), and with work on 'human/machine interfacing'
(also known as "accessibility"). That helps :-)
Finding resources with /correct and complete/ description of a
problem/solution (so I can save myself from writing some) is much harder.

That's a normal part of the process of learning - it takes time. The
more you learn, the better you get at problem-solving (I think :-) ).
Just make sure you study the 'pros' and 'cons' with /any/ solutions you
may find, so you don't end up creating a lot of new problems once one
problem is solved.
Also: it seems like many designers/coders are limiting their options
before starting the manipulation-process for how something should appear
on screens. Self imposed limitations affect any process, and designing
with HTML/CSS/(whatever) is no exception.
Maybe some listen _too much_ to what others think is "best practices" or
"the right way to do things" - or maybe they just want "simple answers".
I don't know, but I don't like limitations to what I can do.
There are enough limitations in today's UAs/OSes/hardware to sort out on
our way to the human at the other end, so there's no need to add any
limitations of our own.

Lack of resolution - just as with a low-resolution image. Unlike images;
text-resolution is depending solely on available browser/fonts/OS
factors and screen-resolutions, so you can not really influence it much
from your end.
However, most fonts will look better if there are more pixels involved,
which is achieved simply by setting a larger font-size until each letter
becomes fatter. Choosing another font and/or styling it bold, may also
help smoothing those letters.
Usually makes the text easier to read too - at least for me ;-)
