Americans either write a single vertical stroke or an upward hook with a horizontal base line. Europeans (well, Germans and Hungarians to my own knowledge) write just the upward hook - to distinguish this from a 7, they cross the seven.
This font rendered fours (Chrome on Win 7) without the horizontal bar, leaving something that looked like a 1, to me.

TypeKit (I don't know the name of the font). It looks fine on IE9. DRM'ed webfonts look like crap on all other browsers on Windows.
Yep. Chrome on Windows 7 looks awful.
The digits are especially confusing - the 4's render like European 1's.
What's the difference between European and non-European 1's?
