I’ve just sent the same suggestion to Typekit. I really don’t think they want their customers to spend their days going through hundreds of unsuitable fonts, getting more and more cross as we do it!

Couldn’t agree more, the browser preview feature is great, but if there were some kind of rating for “IE readability”, that would save people a lot of time while looking for fonts.

Because Windows forces letter forms into the pixel grid the kerning falls apart, causing poor readability. There are a fair number of Typekit fonts that are beautiful but not usable for this reason.
