It is interesting to note that gv and xpdf render Type3 fonts very
nicely while Acroread looks like crap. Regardless of how they look on
screen, printed docs will look fine.
See /usr/share/doc/texmf/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf.gz There are a few words
about this. Basically, Acroread barfs of Type3 (bitmap) fonts. There
was a recent thread here on how to get Type1 fonts. I tried and found
this set of instructions to work. Do
[la]tex sample
dvips -Ppdf sample
ps2pdf sample.ps
This should yield a pdf file that Acroread can render nicely.
