Web Design is 95% Typography

Agreed. Most theme designers ignore the different scenarios under which their theme will be used. Most theme shops optimize their demo installations so it looks perfect, only to disappoint the buyer when it's installed.

Is that the theme designers fault, or the person deploying their theme?

In the case of Basic Maths, there's examples of it on the designer's own demo page, depending on your browser settings.

Some people might say this is the user's fault for overriding the original font choices.

I'd say not all fonts are pleasant to read on all machines (except Macs where they generally all come out nice), and expecting the user to stick with ugly aliased ones for the sake of your layout is unprofessional :-P
