Alternate font colors seem to bleed into black fonts.  Splunk uses a strange green font alternative, because of this, black font text seems to bleed green into black text.  Maybe aliasing?  IE does not exibit same behavior.

Why the heck is the website setting an opacity of 0.9999?  Might as well just use 1.0 (or omit it entirely) to avoid the problem.
