The reason for that is that the TeX fonts exist in postscript form in OT1 (the old encoding without accents) but not in T1 (the better new one). This means that _by_default_ documents using T1 encoding use bitmap fonts (which look ugly with acroread, in particular, since Adobe wants us to buy fonts :). The ways out of this situation are: * use "Almost European" fonts, which are virtual fonts built from the Ot1 fonts mimicking new fonts * Use "Latin Modern" fonts, which are new scalable fonts with the same design as classical TeX fonts * use some other free postscript font. The font can be selected in Document Settings. * switch to development version, use xetex, and be able to select any font on your system (OK, I would not advise it, but it is to get an idea of what is coming).
