As Michael said, it's a matter of opinion, but it looks fine to me.

I don't see any problem and you don't describe the problem that you see,

Unless I'm misreading the page, that's your browser's problem. The page
sets it to:

font:1em "Lucida Grande", Arial, "DejaVu Sans", Verdana, sans-serif;

I don't see any particular problems with any of those font suggestions
and the size is relative so is set by your browser's default. So if you
think it should be larger, edit your preferences! Ditto if there's some
problem rendering whichever of those fonts is chosen by your browser,
then check your display settings.

Ditto.
