...or not. Your screen image looks perfectly readable to me. Better to keep the archive simple, fast, and easily usable by everyone, than to add complications that may cause problems for others.
When you say "easily usable by everyone", do you mean "everyone with perfect 20/20 vision"? Websites should honour the user's choice of typeface and typesize, if nothing else, and that doesn't add much in the way of complexity. (If anything, websites that force their own choice of font are more complex, not less.)
I have poor sight, and I find the TDE archives *significantly* better than most, which I fond unusable. In fact, I can't see a problem. They are great. Beautifully clear and highly legible when I enlarge (ctrl-+) which I expect to do anyway. Most archives are awful and I can hardly read them. I have attached a screenshot of what I see. I don't know whether it will get through.
