This is a someone-please-explain question rather than a how-to question. I've been experimenting with LyX and LaTeX for producing PDFs. I want to write documents at home and print them on the laser-printer at work. It's all Windows at the office.
The PDFs that I produce look beautiful in GhostView at home, but when I open them in Acrobat for Windows, the fonts look hideous! I don't much care because the printed copy looks great - better than I could produce with Word, with so much less frustration.
To make PDFs, use dvipdfm (<http://gaspra.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/>, and I'm sure it's available as a package for whatever distribution you're using) to convert from DVI to PDF. It will outputs the fonts correctly for Acrobat Reader (and also supports PDF specials like HyperTeX). There are other solutions as well (such as using pdftex instead of LaTeX), but I prefer the latex+dvipdfm approach.
