The odd thing about this, to me, is that as text-centric as the Blackberry is, every single handset I've played with has had atrocious text rendering (with the last being a friend's Storm).
BB ships with a few very bad fonts, and the default font doesn't look good when reduced in size, so it's quite possible that you've seen customization gone awry.
