Do we get to see what you are talking about or is it supposed to be a mystery?

Uh, s-man, the first image is a .png, but apparently has to be viewed while on the original page. And I’d love to, but there’s no URL. :’( The other one tells me I need authorization to view it.

Okay, now that I’ve been to the page, the images load from cache.

What you are calling "fonts" are actually typefaces. A font is a version of a typeface like Times New Roman in italic.

The lower font sample is rendered with the colored “pre-distortion” effect that Windows calls “ClearType.” If Apple has it too, good for them.

I am still trying to figure out how to set the default font for Office 2008. It defaults to two of the most crappy looking fonts I have ever seen (installed with Office 2008 - you cannot keep it from being installed): Calabri and Cambria.
Both very ugly and don’t print particularly well either.
That and Word 2008 wants to automatically default to goofy spacing of 10pts. after lines.... I haven’t figured out how to turn that off either. I have to manually change it with each new document.
