Is there a browser system font I can change, or has anybody any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks in advance,
I know what's causing the problem. The browser is not compatible with BBC because the browser is very simple. Web browsing on a Kindle is not a good idea. It's slow and as you can see, not compatible with some sites.
