Harald,

Thanks for looking at this. I'm not sure i understand your comment about using different fonts - the document has the font (Computer Modern, the default LaTeX font) embedded in the file. I'm no typographer, but the font itself is identical to me between those screenshots; the difference is in the font hinting/rendering.

I just compared Okular to the kpdf on Kubuntu screenshot and the font rendering is identical, and still suboptimal. The test file may not be ideal, but you can see on the "6.06" how the 6 is just isn't as readable as it is rendered in xpdf or Fedora. I can try to find a test file which demonstrates the problem more distinctly, but unfortunately many I've come across have been journal articles for which I have no permission to redistribute.

Thanks again for your time.
