When I open a PDF in a non-Acrobat PDF viewer, they look fine, but when I open one in Acrobat, the fonts look absolutely terrible. They look very low resolution and I'm not sure how to increase them.  I've tried PDFs from internet, exporting from Word, and making LaTeX documents.  How can I correct this problem?

My friend and I are working on the same subject and I asked her to see her work. I noticed that her pdf rendering (if it's really that) is a lot different than mine even though we use the same "template". We both use TexMaker with MikTeX, hers is on Mac, mine is on Windows.   Left is mine, right is hers.     If anyone knows what cause the difference here and could help me getting the same thing that would be great.  Thank you.

If I open a PDF document in Adobe Reader, it usually opens with Fit Width page zoom by default.     But if I click on a bookmark, the zoom changes to Fit Page.   How do I stop this from happening and have Adobe Reader maintain the default zoom?

When I try to open  it looks this way (I have tried Evince, Chrome and Firefox), saying     Please wait...      If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.      You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting .      For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit .     I have found  saying     Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.   How are such files meant to be opened on Ubuntu given the official Adobe Acrobat Reader package is deprecated?  It's not a real problem for me practically as I have actually managed to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 (BTW I am, however, afraid this ancient version is going to start having problems with opening new files of this kind soon) on Xubuntu 15.10 a reasonably tidy way by unpacking the old Ubuntu DEB package, putting the necessary files to a subdirectory in /opt and editing the Reader's launch scripts but I believe it's a pretty serious issue for using Ubuntu in commercial/academy/government environments so there is to be a more proper way.

EDIT: The problem was that I did not have "Cleartype" turned on in my settings on Vista.  This question may not have much meaning if you have Cleartype is installed/enabled on Windows OS.    A new typography wind has arrived on the web, with font-face property of CSS3 be able to load fonts other than the OS/system set. My Mac render many perfectly while my Windows machine doesn't. Which set of fonts should I use that will render better on Windows?    And here an example of a website that looks bad rendered on PC with Myriad Pro:   NOTE: I am not talking about the difference in antialiasing between browser versions (like between IE9 and IE6).  I am expecting as answer by your tests, a list of fonts plus the size (please use px) which they look well, or at least in a way that they can be used for short text or small titles.  For example, at the moment "League Gothic, 30px" looks like the following:

What's the recommend way of changing the font size in a particular table? Is there a better way than enclosing all values with, for example, the \tiny function.

In Fedora 22, in KDE (plasma) System Settings -> Font -> Fonts, the setting for "General" is "Sans Serif 10", for "Fixed width" is "Monospace 10", for "small" is "Sans Serif 8", for "Toolbar" is "Sans Serif 9", for "Menu" is "Sans Serif 10", and for "Window title" is "OxygenSans 10".  How can I figure out which font file is being used for the generic "Monospace" alias?  (I'm sure I can follow the same procedure to figure out Sans Serif.)  fc-list shows 30 files, but fc-list | grep -I monospace shows nothing.  ("Monospace" must be an alias, and isn't the name of an actual font.)  fc-match --all shows 30 files, but likewise, fc-match | grep -I monospace shows nothing.  ls -la ~/.config | grep font shows nothing.  (No ~/.config/fontconfig)  /etc/fonts/fonts.conf lists font directories, accepts deprecated aliases, and points to /etc/fonts/conf.d.  /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf is an XML file with element alias, with child family ("monospace") and prefer families ("Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Incolsolata", "Andale Mono", "Courier New", "Cumberland AMT", "Luxi Mono", "Nimbus Mono L", Nimbus Mono", and "Courier").  /etc/fonts/conf.d/61-oxygen-mono.conf has child family ("monospace") and prefer family ("Oxygen Mono").  /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-gnu-free-mono has child family ("monospace") and prefer family ("FreeMono").  /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-unifont.conf has child family ("monospace") and prefer family ("FreeMono").  Now, in this case, the only prefer family quoted above that is installed is "Oxygen Mono" (in OxygenMono-Regular.ttf), so the system must be using that font.  But, what if some of the other prefer families were installed?  Isn't there a simple command that lets you see what a generic system alias like "Monospace" is mapped to?  I only see fc-{cache, cat, list, match, pattern, query, scan, and validate} on my system, and the only two that looks like they might perform this (list, match) don't seem to have this feature.

I am trying to display a Powerpoint slide deck on an android tablet, but the slides contain fonts that don't exist in android.  Is there a way to install custom fonts on the tablet?  If so, how?

I'm trying to make a document that has a very small font throughout, I tried this:  \documentclass[0.5mm, a4paper]{article} \documentclass[7pt, a4paper]{article}   But it doesn't seem that they allow me to go anything below 10pt.  This hack make it work, but not for the section headers:  \fontsize{4mm}{5mm}\selectfont   Does anyone know any better ways to do this?

I am a big lover of the  by Georg Duffner. As of now, he has made two sets of font files, EB-Garamond-8 and EB-Garamond-12, respectively for “design size 8pt” and “design size 12pt”. Is there a way to make fontspec (and possibly unicode-math, too) use EB-Garamond-8 fonts for small sizes e.g. sub/superscripts, footnotes… and EB-Garamond-12 fonts for regular sizes when using local font files¹?  If I use only EBGaramond12, the following code works if I put the EBGaramond12-* .otf files in a fonts/ directory sibling to the .tex²  \setmainfont[     Path=fonts/,     Extension=.otf,     UprightFont=*-Regular,     ItalicFont=*-Italic,     BoldFont=*-Bold,     RawFeature={+clig,+dlig,+cv11},]{EBGaramond12}   but if I try to adapt it to use the SizeFeatures options  \setmainfont[     Path=fonts/,     Extension=.otf,     UprightFont=*-Regular,     ItalicFont=*-Italic,     BoldFont=*-Bold,     RawFeature={+clig,+dlig,+cv11},     SizeFeatures={         {Size={-12}, UprightFont=EBGaramond8-Regular, ItalicFont=EBGaramond8-Italic},         {Size={12-}, UprightFont=EBGaramond12-Regular, ItalicFont=EBGaramond12-Italic, BoldFont=EBGaramond12-Bold}     }]{EBGaramond12}   Then the document won't compile and I get the following error. Using complete names instead of wildcarded ones changes nothing.  The key 'fontspec/UprightFont' is unknown and is being ignored.     ¹ It means that using features that automagically select the right system fonts is not an option.  ² the file structure is  . ├── fonts │   ├── EBGaramond08-Italic.otf │   ├── EBGaramond08-Regular.otf │   ├── EBGaramond12-Bold.otf │   ├── EBGaramond12-Italic.otf │   └── EBGaramond12-Regular.otf └── paper.tex

I see many posts in how to changes the font and font size, but none for changing the default font for a document to bold font. I believe this is called changing the font series. The approach in  (obtained by random Googling) looks like it should work, but doesn't do anything when I stick it in the preamble. Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place.  \fontencoding{T1} \fontfamily{garamond} \fontseries{m} \fontshape{it} \fontsize{12}{15} \selectfont   There is also some discussion .

There are a lot of extra fonts that all seem to look alike and just annoy me in the drop down list. Is there anyway I can erase them from the system?

I've come across a weird problem with exporting a PDF from InDesign file.  My collegue exported part of his design in InDesign (he works on Windows), this is a screen from the original file (taken on my Mac, but it looks the same on his PC):    This is a comparison of how the file looks on his PC and my Mac:    We both use the same export profile to preview our work, downscaling bitmaps a little, and converting whole thing to adobe RGB color profile. We use it to send lightweight files to our clients for proofing. It always worked fine until now.  I'm baffled. I've never seen PDF behaving like this before. If it was corrupted or damaged, it still produced the same results everywhere, I mean that's the point of PDF after all.  Can anyone explain what is happening?
