It looks terrible because it's using the web font for Alte Haas Grotesk.

Is there a known problem with this font?

I don't know, but i've rarely seen webfonts that work out well on Windows. I haven't tried on any other OS.

How does typekit get them to work? Do they just hand-pick fonts that alias less terribly on windows?

Typekit probably uses Embedded TrueType/OpenType fonts, maybe that site used another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography#Web_fonts

My site provides eot, woff, ttf, and svg versions of the font... http://www.ossfyd.com/fonts/stylesheet.css
