Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Font looks smoother in TeXworks Viewer than in Adobe Acrobat

[isharp2]

Hi,

I have MiKTeX installed. I wanted to get higher quality/ smoother fonts. To get this done I bombarded packages

Code: Select all

\usepackage{arial}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage{helvet} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[light,math]{iwona}

When MiKTeX is done running and opens the PDF - the font is very smooth. However, when I open my PDF using adobe acrobat the text is very 'crumbly' looking again - probably bitmap format, instead of true type.

Does anyone know why this is and how I can make the font look smooth when my PDF is opened in adobe acrobat?

many thanks

Simple solution:
In Adobe Acrobat X, I had to go to 'edit'-->'preferences'

then under 'Rendering' enable smooth text for monitor.

I hope this helps someone with the same challenge.

Just a few remarks regarding the usage of font packages.

• Never load redundant packages that affect the same font family (here sans serif fonts). It's just useless. Furthermore the »arial« package (from pclnfss) provides almost the same font as helvet. Only the last one will be operative.
• The times package is obsolete.
• The pslatex package is obsolete.

Best regards and welcome to the board
