Dear LyX-listers,

Here is a quasi-LyX question, really more about PDFs from LaTeX:

I generate PDFs using pdflatex from my LyX files. I'm using cm-super; i.e. computer modern Type 1 fonts.

My PDFs look great in Mac OS X Preview, but not-so-great in Adobe Acrobat. The fonts are not well-aligned to the baseline in Acrobat, and unless I magnify to 150% or 200%, the type is misaligned. The glyphs themselves look fine, but they don't follow the baseline properly.

Since most people reading such documents will use Acrobat rather than Preview, I'd like to make mine look good in Acrobat. I've checked the Document Info in Acrobat to confirm that only the Type 1 fonts are being used.

I frequently read documents on the web that were created with LaTeX, and they look fine in Acrobat Reader without magnification. Does anyone here know what I could do to make my LyX output look better in Acrobat reader, and/or why it looks fine in Preview but not in Acrobat?

Thanks,

Richard
