Comment (by markmcwilliams):

 I initially checked Google to see if it was before a CSS hack, but found
 nothing!

 Upon reading that it is in there, specifically for Internet Explorer, I
 went in search of an article to find out why? Good news is that it turned
 up http://www.queness.com/post/5600/10-dirty-internet-explorer-css-hacks-
 you-might-not-know which states using {{{_font-family:}}} is for IE6 and
 below!!!

 Now I appreciate I know nothing about CSS, but why are we supporting
 something that is really old, for a WordPress theme that has been designed
 for 2013? On this occasion, I completely disagree with that decision. Why
 hasn't this been used in Twenty Twelve, Twenty Eleven and Twenty Ten?

 Looking back through the Twenty Thirteen CSS file, I can see further IE
 hacks ...
