Comment:

 The issue described in this ticket is not specific to WordPress or the way
 WordPress implemented webfonts; it's simply a side effect of the way
 webfonts are rendered when a user has disabled font smoothing in their OS.
 I don't believe a fix for this is necessary given that it affects a
 substantial and growing proportion of websites and an unsubstantial and
 shrinking proportion of users, but if anyone is interested in working on a
 solution, you may be interested in this article which describes a method
 of detecting the presence of font smoothing and falling back to a system
 font if it is disabled. http://wellcaffeinated.net/articles/2012/01/25
 /font-smoothing-detection-modernizr-style/

 I think this ticket is safe to mark as wontfix and a new issue can be
 created if someone does decide to work on that fallback.
