Not sure if it's because of Ubuntu, but your font sucks. It's unreadable, and yes other webpages look "normal" to me.

Really? I've never heard that complaint before. I didn't do much of anything outside of pick a standard Wordpress template, so I can't imagine it would use a font that isn't pretty universal.

It's supposed to look like this: http://www.designfreebies.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fre...

My hosting service has been having trouble serving assets recently. I'm wondering if that might be the problem...

it does look like this, and it is unreadable, sorry mate

Most WordPress themes have bad typography. The first thing I do with most WordPress themes I check out is change to a good sans-serif font at 14-18px and a good line height. I also fix the link colors, which most themes make indistinguishable from each other and the body text.

WordPress theme creators could learn a lot from Tumblr theme creators.

It is pretty much unreadable in Firefox on OS X too.
