I'm curious why you don't like the font? Oh, and it's Georgia by the way, not Times.
Vast overgeneralization here, but not bad as a rule of thumb: Serif fonts tend not to do as well as Sans Serif fonts at low resolution because the serifs break up. Plus the strokes are often thinner on common Serif fonts, which means that the strokes become more uneven more quickly on a Serif font as the resolution drops.
In print, you usually see serif fonts in the body text because the human eye and brain follow them better. Then sans serif fonts for headers, captions, and such, so they contrast with the body text.
That doesn't work as well in the "display on a monitor" world because the resolution is so much lower and the Serif fonts suffer disproportionately.
