Hey... First of all - thanks for your reply.
Before I do all of your suggested tests (which I will do) I just have to say: it seems like the pdf you've sent me has fuzzy Hebrew as well! Well - as I understand, PDF should embed the fonts inside it, so it's not impossible that we see the documents in two computers in two different ways; so for the example, I will add here links to two documents that I have generated using LyX, one while I had Windows, and one in my ubuntu. The two documents are generated from the same source file, so you'll probably see the huge differences. The link to the "windows" generated PDF is here: - http://www.freeall.org/peleg/math/TOP_MMN16-C-windows.pdf And the link the the "ubuntu" generated PDF is here: - http://www.freeall.org/peleg/math/TOP_MMN16-C-ubuntu.pdf See the difference? Here is the source for BOTH of the PDFs: - http://www.freeall.org/peleg/math/TOP_MMN16.lyx Thanks again, hopefully I will do the rest of the tests some other time. Peleg.
