I use chinesepod on my mac, and sometimes on a PC. The Hanzi characters appear on the screen in rather a 'blockish' style.  Have you thought about using the font referred to by Microsoft in their font menus as 华文楷体 ?   It seems much easier to read to me.

I prefer "SimHei" personally. Nice balance between legible block and fluid script. The font you refer to is popular; it's generally called "KaiTi" Over in the Forum, coljac linked to a nice screenshot of KaiTi_GB2312. I found a nice site in China with a bunch of fonts.
