For reasons that are a mystery to me, the same text on the same operating system on the same display will render much nicer as a pdf than in a browser. This is true for Windows/IE as well as Ubuntu/Firefox. It's why I gave up on using a browser to display my presentations, and now use pdf's. Projecting a browser display on a screen is cringeworthy bad.
Were you using the same fonts in the browser as the PDF? Personally, I've never had a problem reading the fonts in my browser versus PDF. What I really hate about PDF is that it doesn't flow and doesn't respect my viewing preferences -- which is fine for printed paper, but sucks for reading on a myriad of devices.
