I've been wondering about this for ages: why can't the Acrobat reader offer
anti-aliased fonts? Surely it can't be all that complicated - some
shareware programs can do it (such as an anti-aliased ASCII editor), and
'crystal fonts' sort of makes an attempt at anti-aliasing on ATI graphics
cards

[For those people who say that there's too much of a processor overhead,
then look at the Acorn machines which offered anti-aliasing years ago on far
inferior processors.]

I would have thought that the launch of Acrobat would have been the ideal
time to upgrade ATM to offer anti-aliasing, and this would enhance the
legibility of PDF files, too. No, I have no idea of the technical issues
involved, but at a noddy level, couldn't you just print the same character a
few times in the same place with varying shades of grey?

Mike.
