This may be due to the selected fonts. You can change fonts in Settings>Fonts. Here's
which fonts are used in your picture:

In all word lists (kanji/kana/definition):
  Kanji: "Font for small text"
  Kana: "Font for small text"
  Definition: "English font" (even if it contains kanji/kana, for now).

In popup card:
  Large character: "Font for big characters"
  Radical: "Complete unicode font"
  Alternate: "Font for characters in grid"
  Readings: "Font for characters in grid"

For instance, if you like how kanji/kana looks in the dictionary, look which font is
used and set it as "Font for big characters", "Font for characters in grid" and "Complete
unicode font". Does this help?

I use default font
I think you should add option to change font size.

Font handling has been improved somewhat in 1.98, now most modern CJK fonts work no worse than MS Mincho/MS Gothic. You can increase the popup card font size on the "Popup tool" setting page ("Scaling factor"). I've set it to be a bit bigger by default now.
