I think it's my OS because I used different browsers and all did the same
thing but I could be wrong.

On another note, that icky font is called "Tacoma, Arial" so at least
I know what font to avoid when I go to write something up.


If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, the easiest way to fix this is to remove the
"wine-fonts" package (this package installs an ugly, fake Tahoma font,
because the original Microsoft font cannot be distributed).

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/412195

If you do need wine (and thus wine-fonts), you're screwed and need to copy
over a real Tahoma font from a Windows system.
