Because your on-screen PDF viewer lies to you. Particularly on windows.
Yes, this is something I noticed. On windows for example, the JPedal viewer which is included in LilyPondTool produces awfuls results ; Adobe is not very good either. I used Foxit Reader, which is by far the best PDF viewer (and it is free as free beer), along with Sumatra which is free as free speech, but lacks many features. On Mac, the native PDF-to-display that they call Quartz is absolutely awesome ; whenever I want to see what a PDF really looks like, (and whenever I can), I use a Mac for both export and viewing. On Linux, the JPedal is crappy as usual :) but some PDF viewers are quite good (evince is my favorite; it make LilyPond scores look really great). Besides, Linux has some native anti-aliasing features which make fonts and stuff look really better than on Windows. So, maybe you should consider using another viewer, another output format (high-res PNG?).. or another OS ;) [OK, never mind] Regards, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
