Some people find they can reduce or avoid eye strain by using larger and/or
bolder fonts.  On your Sun, check out the /usr/lib/fonts/fixedwidthfonts
directory.   It contains a variety of fonts and a README file describing
them.  If you want to try them out, experiment with

shelltool -Wt /usr/lib/fonts/fixedwidthfonts/{fontname}
