The 'Marker Felt' font used in the iPhone's notes app seems to be almost universally reviled. I don't mind it, but it can be difficult, e.g. trying to read back a long alphanumeric string while typing into a web form or SSH session.
I discovered this by accident while enabling Emoji (post on that coming soon), but you can easily make it display in plain old Helvetica:
1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards > Japanese and switch on 'QWERTY' or 'Kana'.
2. When in the notes app, switch keyboards (use the little globe symbol) to Japanese insert a character (space will do it).
Your note will magically switch to something much more readable, and stay that way.
Obviously, if your iPhone is JB'd you can probably do this via a one time .plist edit.
