Actually it does not (for the default English font). It creates PDFs that
look very blurry and awful in acroread 4 or 5. (let me know if you need a
screenshot to see what I mean).
Generally my philosophy is to write the document and customize it later
and _never_ do any manual final touches. With LaTeX and DocBook the output
is usually so nice that I don't even bother messing with the fonts, and
just leave it as is.
I know someone who manually tweaks the resultant PostScript files after
they are finished. Now that's what I call hubris, because you have to do
that each time you release a final version. That goes against the UNIX
philosophy of automating the process.
