Fonts on lighthouse problem
I regularly use Lighthouse at work on a Mac and I love it! It has some awesome features and looks beautiful.
I also work from home too, but use a PC running Windows XP – I have noticed that the Helvetica Neue font used within the website does not function well. I do have this font installed, and it looks terrible when viewed through the Lighthouse web application. I temporarily removed this font, and it looked perfectly fine (obviously because through the CSS it has reverted to using Arial).
Heres a screenshot of what this looks like: http://3amdesign.com.au/lighthouse.jpg
This is a factor that is definitely holding me back from purchasing a licence of lighthouse. Perhaps the Helvetica Neue font could be removed? Afterall, it is not a standard web safe font.

I'm gonna have a fix for this once and for all this weekend. I thought I had it fixed earlier, but it didn't work out.

ah ok, cool. I was worried that possibly my version of the Helvetica Neue font had been damaged or something - but if others have seen this problem then it couldnt be.
What is the issue with it may I ask? (I do have strong css knowledge if that helps).

From my observation the issue is just bad font rendering on Windows systems. Without cleartype turned on, Helvetica Neue doesn't render well on the web.

Well it has been over a year and I am still having this problem. Is there anyway the font could be changed to something that is a websafe font? I can barely read the font on my Windows machine.
