I'd concur with Athmane Madjoudj, you might have a bad anti-aliasing
option picked for your system.  And some fonts do that better than
others.

If you have the liberation fonts installed, they do a good job of
replacing the usual Windows-expected fonts, and freely.  Your computer's
much more likely to substitute a good choice of font, rather than a bad
one, when you don't have the Windows font that the author wanted to use.
