weird font typesetting importing word 2007 tables as pdf
because i really hate making tables in latex i make them in word. I export the .docx (word 2007) to pdf using
the pdf export addin:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
I then include the pdf as a graphic in a table environment using the grahpicx package. Everything goes well except for the typesetting.
There is a small variation in spaces between letters which does looks kinda ugly. Its absolutely readable but if pay attention you can see that the some letters are placed a bit to much to the left or right in a word.
I use the fourier font in latex, and the ariel font for tables made in word 2007. operating system is windows.
I would really like to fix this but i don't know what the problem actually is. Could it be the use of truetype fonts by windows?

Sometimes, at least PDF-viewers, show letters with a little funny spacing, but it doesn't look like that when you print the document.
