Hi

I created some pdfs via pdflatex and ps2pdf under Linux and they look horrible under windows (Acrobat 5). They look fine under Linux (checked with acroread and kpdf) but under windows they look like low quality scans - even after zooming in.

Any ideas what is causing this?
Yes. Acrobat is a lousy pdf reader - it don't handle bitmap fonts very well.
Simple solution - use other pdf readers.

If you need acrobat, make sure you don't use a bitmap font.

The default font in lyx is computer modern, and it comes
out as a bitmap font.  Selecting almost any other font in
document settings should do the trick.

Or \usepackage{lmodern} in the preamble, if you want to
have a nice computer modern font.  Obviously you need to
have this package.
