You can view them here;

Just click on the current date range and then follow the links.

The reason they're crisp is because they are vector graphics, similar to
Jeppesen charts in JeppView. The only limitation to clarity with vector
graphics is the resolution of your printer.

And the text is encoded as text. You can tell: ask Adobe Reader 6.0 to read
the chart aloud to you (it's pretty amusing).

But why is the airport ID in the bottom right corner the only piece of text
in a serif font?
