Difficult to read where, on the VTTYs, or using some GUI terminal?

If on the VTTYs, try changing the FONTFACE in /etc/default/console-setup from 
Fixed to TerminusBold, or commenting out the FONTFACE line so that the VTTYs use 
the nice bold font the kernel has used for the framebuffers by default for over 
two decades.

If in an Xterm, try specifying a font in ~/.Xresources, e.g.:

        xterm*faceName: Droid Sans Mono:antialias=true
        xterm*faceSize: 11
