Recently I have received documents that are in say, Times New Roman, but the characters appear "ragged". If I select all and then set the font to Times New Roman Regular all is well. This occurs when the original text is sent as Times New Roman postscript.
Give it a go.

Hi Bill,

I'm still not entirely clear. Is it unreadable gobbledegook or are the letters 
correct but badly printed. When I say you could have the printer set to draft 
quality, that is a per document decision that you can make in the print dialog. 
MS Word, for instance, may be using its own print dialog and setting the 
printer to high quality, but when you use the OS X print dialog, you may have 
draft mode selected.

Cheers,
Carlo

Carlo The text is mostly unreadable, but NOT for MS Word and several other 
softwares.  So I think it is not the printer.

Hi Bill,

Not sure I can help but what do you mean by poor quality? Is it that the text 
badly laid-out or is it that he individual letters are rough?

Could it be that you have your printer set to draft quality?

Cheers,
Carlo

I wonder if I have some settings wrong?   Whether using Adobe Acrobat 8 pro or 
Preview, I cannot print PDf text at anything like decent quality.  The printer 
is a Canon MX310.   Done a few miles  but all other softwares print fine.
