    Well I'm using True Type fonts - surely they don't require a postcript font file?

    Outputting PDF from Acrobat, created the PDF in Illustrator and also tried distiller but got the same result.

    I tried using the same font (Arial and Avenir). In word it looks fine when printed but when printed from the PDF the text looks rough around the edges.

    monospaced - I know what antialiasing is I'm just trying to describe the printed effect from my PDF.

    Basically, I would like to print from my PDF document to my printer and obtain crisp fonts in the same way that I can do with same fonts from Word from the same (MAC) computer and all the while using TrueType fonts.

    Any thoughts anyone. I assume it's not the printer since Word prints OK. Therefore I'm looking at the PDF but I can't work out why it would not print "clearly"/"crisp"/"easy to read".

    • maybe the font isn't embedding into the PDF file?hans_glib
