This might be an acroread problem. I have noticed that acroread for Linux (and all other unices) displays text very ugly, but the windows one shows them fine. So if you have a .pdf created with pdflatex (as I do very often, because I need to print them out at university, and there is no LaTeX :-(( ), it might look ugly on a linux (sun,sgi,...)screen, but print out perfectly, and look good on windows screens. Have you tried to look at one of your documents on a windows PC?
