SimSun? Basically there's only one or two Simplified Chinese fonts in Windows, so everyone uses the default Chinese font for everything. That's why it's so popular, and they just use the same font since it also includes its infamous Latin characters. In addition to being overused and Latin characters not being the focus of the font, part of the reason its ugly on top of that is that since Chinese is generally monospaced, the Latin characters are also monospaced at half width and just generally sized weird to fit in better with Chinese.
Thanks for the font name and the explanation!
