Solve : Font Display Issue?

Answer»

Hello, I'm not a web designer, but I seem to be having issues DISPLAYING a commonly used web font. I have the same issue with all the browsers on my system (Chrome, IE, and FIREFOX) so I don't think it's a browser issue.

I believe the font in question is Helvetica Neue.
Example page: Digg.com
This is what I see: http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q610/EclairBA/diggtextexample_zps01d238be.jpg

As you can see Rs and Ps are HARD to read. There seems to be "hinting" or whatever it's called when some letters are bigger/taller than others. It does not make for a pleasant reading experience.


I'm using Windows XP on an older laptop, so perhaps that's the issue? My browsers are up to date. Is there anything I can do to GET this font because it seems to be used more and more often. I have another PC that doesn't have this issue (it runs Windows 7.)
