The thin font used for the tags has readability issues. Is this a Windows-only problem?

I'm using chromium, with directwrite enabled and it looks exactly like you're describing. Thin fonts with Chrome/Chromium are always a problem.
Fonts were a problem in Chrome before it started using DirectWrite, but in this case, DirectWrite seems to be unable to render the font properly as the issue is present in IE too.
