new site fonts

[Allegretti, Robert [Global Bay]]

Some of the fonts on the latest site look pretty bad in Firefox.  Sample screens attached.
 I'm on Windows7 x64, I have a few Firefox add-ons but nothing weird, and nothing that
should effect fonts.  It looks fine in IE.  Hit me back if there's any other info I
can provide that might be helpful.

What I am finding interesting is that half the people say it looks bad
in IE and not firefox and the other half say it is firefox that looks
bad and not IE. I wonder what the hinting issues that are causing
this.

I've only heard reports of the fonts looking bad in Firefox on Windows.
AFAIK there haven't been reports of it looking bad in Firefox on Linux
specifically.

I just did checked the fedoraproject.org website using the following
*
Fedora 13 - Chrome 7.0*
*Result: OK*

So, the problem is only in Chrome and Firefox only on Windows.

These tests you've run are AMAZINGLY helpful, thank you SO MUCH! I'm
going through them now trying to figure out the text rendering issue and
they've been a huge help.
