Default Aliasing Issue w/Google WebFonts

Hello i'm using the following code to display the Voces Font.

@font-face {
font-family: "Voces";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local("Voces"), local("Voces-Regular"), url("http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/voces/v1/ePr7eRI28zZaOtQ8CcT7rA.woof") format("woof");
}


Problem is that on all Windows based browsers the font looks really jaggedy (Sp?) ---and the aliasing (?) is just not right. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Where on the rendered page can this be seen?

Im seeing it mostly on the subheaders---'How it works?'

Along with the font all the way at the top of the page--and phone number at top right corner.

I can tell you that it doesn't happen with Opera or Firefox running on Linux Mint either.

So the solutions are:

A: Don't worry about it, because there isn't anything you can do to change it.

B: Try a different font.

primarily firefox I believe, but I have come across this before too and it is very frustrating.

After happening a few times I've come to the conclusion that I only choose my google fonts through firefox on my xp machine. If it looks good on that, it'll work...
