That happens when font "hinting" is disabled. Hinting adjusts the appearance of the glyphs so that the vertical and horizontal elements are aligned on pixel boundaries to make them appear sharp. Unhinted output has the advantage of more accurately representing the shape of the glyphs, but at low resolutions I find it hard to read as well.
