[–] jlwjr 15y ago ↗ It looks terrible because it's using the web font for Alte Haas Grotesk. [–] GICodeWarrior 15y ago ↗ Is there a known problem with this font? [–] jlwjr 15y ago ↗ I don't know, but i've rarely seen webfonts that work out well on Windows. I haven't tried on any other OS. [–] GICodeWarrior 15y ago ↗ How does typekit get them to work? Do they just hand-pick fonts that alias less terribly on windows? [–] jlwjr 15y ago ↗ Typekit probably uses Embedded TrueType/OpenType fonts, maybe that site used another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography#Web_fonts [–] GICodeWarrior 15y ago ↗ My site provides eot, woff, ttf, and svg versions of the font... http://www.ossfyd.com/fonts/stylesheet.css

The other sites you see trouble on were probably designed on Linux or OSX as well.
