A lot of websites are showing a horrible font after applying a theme
Post Body

I'm using Windows 7 and this is occurring on Chrome, Firefox and Safari (these are the only ones I've checked as Internet Explorer can basically not be opened).

This horrible and almost unreadable font is quite frequent after applying a Windows 7 theme I downloaded from deviantART. I'm not actually sure which theme provoked this problem as I've applied others since (silly me). This problems doesn't occur on all websites. For example, Chrome Youtube is fine, along with other websites like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter.

I have tried the Windows ClearType if someone is going to suggest that, and it didn't work.

I've provided examples below of the same websites on Chrome, Firefox and Safari where the issue is appearing.

I am open to all suggestions and am appreciative of any replies. Thanks.

EDIT: I just remembered, I did find the font face in the html and there were 2 creating this problem: Helvetica Neue Thin and Helvetic Neue Ultralight. I tried uninstalling both and it didn't make a difference.

Chrome Examples: 1 2

Firefox Examples: 1 2

Safari Examples: 1 2
