 Windows still looks horrific even when the correct fonts are specified,
 leading to poor first impressions and a bad out-of-the-box experience.

 No, it's a separate issue. It renders correctly, but "Congratulations!
 This browser is configured to use Tor." looks terrible because a font
 that's not great to begin with is getting scaled up to a large size.

 There's not much that can be done without changing which fonts we use, I
 don't think.
