There may well be something that can be done but to fix a problem I
need to know what the problem is. The core of the teletext code is
unchanged from 0.23 to 0.24, so the only element that should have
changed is the final step of actually rendering the text. 'easier to
read' doesn't tell me where to start looking and is also largely
subjective. It is probably just a case of tweaking the font type, size
and perhaps the style (i.e. maybe make the text bold). Comparative
screenshots would probably speak volumes :)

Remember you can chose any font available on your system in the OSD
settings page (but the zoom setting will not influence teletext
captions).

As an aside, what video renderer are you using? I've just noted a
slight potential problem in the code if you're using XVideo -
VDPAU/OpenGL/Direct3d should be fine.
