Yes, Mary. Sometimes it's a particular type face where the distinct line at the top left of the six and the bottom right of the nine are too blurred. At other times, it is the color contrast--not enough. You might be surprised to know that in most of these cases, sighted people also have trouble reading the numbers especially those whose vision may not be as perfect as it once was. You might consider exploring that and if there is in fact a problem shared by all, making a complaint.
