Comments about the last two screenshots:

1) The smaller image has been affected by exactly the averaging effect I
   mentioned In particular you can see, on the left side of  vertical
   strokes in letters, that averaging mid-grey and white pixels gives a
   light grey one and this is certainly affecting the perceived width of
   the strokes. Zooming the image by a factor of 150%-200% makes this
   more obvious.

2) you altered the aspect ratio of the image when you shrank it and this
   has exaggerated the 'blockiness' of the letters:

   original 324 x 361  AR=0.9
   smaller  133 x 196  AR=0.68

   This has had quite a large effect on the smaller letters.

3) The linear reduction is to 41% horizontally and 54% vertically, so
   each final pixel has replaced 4.49 original pixels and no smoothing
   or resampling was used by the resizing algorithm. No wonder the
   diagonal edges on the big letters have jaggies.
