This is a really un-optimal solution, but if you edit your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, you can change the order that fonts are preferred (just search for the <prefer> tags). Move the fonts that are more readable nearer to the top. Unfortunately, fonts.conf is a file that shouldn't be changed... it would be better to edit local.conf, but I don't know enough about how fontconfig works to do that.
