PDF has the ability to render text with a fill-plus-stroke mode that
PostScript doesn't have. [Some] existing versions the Acrobat reader seem to
have difficulting rendering this accurately. PDF renders (such as Jaws...)
that include a complete PS interpreter should not have any problems, and I
would hope that future versions of Acrobat reader don't either.
I haven't investigated this problem in depth, and don't know if it applies to
all platforms. Just guessing here, but I suspect it may be something to do
with the contortions Acrobat has to perform on PC and Mac platforms to do all
the text rendering stuff....
The workaround for this appears to be to generate the PDF file by first
generating a PS file and then running it through Distiller (which eschews the
fanct text rendering modes), rather than using PDFwriter as (guessing again) I
presume you are using at the moment.
