In pgAdmin 1.14.2 bundled with Postgres 9.1.3 on Mac OS X as installed by the EnterpriseDB installers…

Preferences > Query Tool > Font
is set to “Monaco” font.

While Monaco is one of the original fonts shipped with every Mac ever made, in recent years Apple has bundled a much improved monospaced sans-serif font named “Menlo”. Menlo is found on Macs running Snow Leopard and Lion (Mac OS X 10.6 & 10.7). Menlo is much easier to read on-screen.

Please considering setting “Menlo” as the preferred default font when found on a user’s Mac.
