It's also terrible on Chrome/Linux.

  It looks fine on my Chrome/Linux but that doesn't really say much because Linux fonts are so configurable. I'd guess anyone following the Windows school of font hinting will have problems in this brave new world of web fonts because they'll only look good if someone with the requisite skills has spent a great deal of time hinting them for the pixel sizes used. If, like another commenter, you see non-core fonts as "thin" (or "spindly" etc.) then this is probably the cause. On Apple machines, or the way I set up Ubuntu machines (which the default seems to get closer to as time goes by) they basically ignore that hinting information, even if present and just pretend they're printing on a high pixel density device and let anti-aliasing sort it out.
