Fonts have a technology called hinting that takes care of the very small sizes aliasing differently. Now for understandable but not immediately obvious reasons:


If you expand the font then it will no longer hint.
If you export a image with art optimized anti aliasing it will not hint.


And then the display software may bug out and not hint even if its a font, not much you can do about that. Finally if you rely on browser to downscale the image it will not hint also.

This can also happen to a PDF export when viewed in Acrobat. Its a screen preview issue and shouldn't happen when printing. Nothing you can do to fix it.

If you export to bitmap (PNG, JPG etc...) in low resolution, this may happen. Export in larger pixel dimensions or use larger font size. Probably some other parts suffer as well.
