Does the pixelation show up in your pdf viewer, when you print out a copy, or both? Bad rendering at the screen could be a sign of a misconfigured viewer. Try several viewers and see if the problem persists in all of them. I'm unfamiliar with Void Linux. Can you possibly test with another distro? If I understand correctly, Void is "from scratch." Its font handling may well be the source of your problem. If you haven't got access to another distro, could you attach a small source file and its pdf along with the command line you used to build it? -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
