Graphic designers and other people who work in the media business, such as myself, often have old PostScript Type 1 versions of typefaces like Helvetica Neue and Gill Sans installed. They are ok for print, but have awful screen appearances.
When screen density is high enough, probably no fonts look awful except in the eyes of particular beholders. Many fonts were awful in the bad old days last century, but screen densities have been creeping up for a long time, and look to continue in that direction for some time, making the fault of bad looking fonts lie more often with the user's choice of equipment than with the designer's font selection.
