Ok I know it is bad to start a new thread but I
think a number of things need to be listed so that people (me included) aren't
confused.
I am using
\usepackage{palatino}
This provides Type 1 (non-bitmap)
fonts.
The dvi file is perfect - to create the
dvi it makes its fonts from .vf and .pk files (hence the splash about 'making
fonts'). It gets it information from folders such as /Adobe/
dvips produces a perfect ps file.
However both dvipdfm and pdflatex produce files
like the one attached (please look at it as this is the problem). It looks fine
at most magnifications but try 99% (fine) and then 100% (what is happening to
the end of the T and top of the D). Also if you look at the fonts it is
using they are URW versions of palatino called palladio.
So my points are these
1)If it was a bitmap problem it would mess up all
characters
2)the dvi and pdf files are using different sources
for the fonts
3)it only happens in Adobe
so...........................
apart from Reader being terrible at scaling why
does the dvi and pdf files use different fonts? Can I get pdflatex to use the
adobe set of fonts?
I know it is triviasl that a T and a D look bad at
one magnification but it got me thinking and the more I have investigated the
font world the more chaotic it seems.
