Letters i and j are lacking space between the dot and the actual letter. In case of i it's impossible to distinguish it from l, which I think is a serious bug. I attached a screenshot, where rails looks exaclty like ralls

win_font_bug

Tested on Chrome and Firefox; Win 8.1 and Win 10

I think Aktiv Grotesk Std is not very friendly font for Windows, maybe it requires some more font-weight tuning (bold/xbold) to look correctly across all platforms

Since we just use Arial here now, this is fixed. Confirmed on my local Windows PC.
