I changed my Thunderbird fonts, although they only change in the view 
area of the window. I set them, in Preferences > Display, to Arial and 
18 point.

The fonts in Thunderbird and Firefox both are sharp and crisp on my 
computer. I would suggest that you look through your screen and video 
settings to see if the problem lies there. I also set my standard screen 
fonts to Arial in the settings. I like the look and find Arial is much 
easier to read than the standard Times font.
