Website font renders poorly

First off, thanks for an incredibly useful site!

I noticed that since the latest theme change, text renders rather poorly on my system. Everything is pixellated and tough to read.

It looks like the CSS is set to use HelveticaRegular, which doesn't exist on my system. My suggestion would be to have the font-family set up to use what is called graceful degradation. Using a list, like my example below will cause the system to fail back to the next font in the list if the font doesn't exist on the current system.

font-family: “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
