You may want to play around with the various smoothing styles. Personally, I find "light" to be the nicest on my LCD.

Keep in mind, though, that changes you make to this setting will only take effect on applications that are launched after the change. So to see it take full effect, log out and back in after you make a change. For the purpose of testing the different styles, I like to simply quit + reload Safari after I make each change.

I also find smaller fonts a little hard to read, too (no matter how they're smoothed). That's why I have Safari's minimum font size set to 15. You might want to use that setting, which is in the Advanced section of Safari's preferences.
