Hi pantxo. The problem is on my side. The font looks small because I have the Windows font scaling 100% instead of the default 125%. I can either increase the font size on the Doc viewer or change Windows back to its default

It should be rendered pretty much like this:

In the Documentation dock, the font used by default (probably Windows default), looks horrible. The options for the functions are in a slanted italics that looks pixelated.

Zooming in improves the situation a lot. Maybe the default font settings should be changed.

In other cases, the doc file is just rendered wrong. For example, the regexp options says:

.
   Match any character

This table or tabulated columns displays the description of each option on the next line. Mildly confusing
