The illustrations used for the PDFs are identical to the once used for
the HTML version. Therefore their resolution is pretty low. I would
appreciate putting higher resolution illustrations into the PDF.
Ah - do we have these files available? Or would it mean someone would have
to spend hours re-scanning?
Not sure what to do about this. I'm using the standard way for using a
PostScript font with LaTeX.
It would seem strange to me that the standard way for LaTex to process
PostScript fonts
in the year 2010 is to convert them to Type3. But I have zero experience
with desktop publishing
on linux, so I do not know.
Does you LaTex support TrueType fonts? If so, the quickest way to
troubleshoot the problem
might simply be to uninstall your PostScript Souvenir, and install a
TrueType one
(someone on this list must have one you could use to test...?),
and see if that generates a PDF that where the text renders better
on-screen.
(Another good test is to try printing a page or two of your PDF on a
laser-printer...
I predict it will print crisp and lovely, and not exhibit any of the uneven
spindliness
I'm seeing on my monitor)
