Which reader are you using? Do you know how to fix the fonts?

I generated the manual from Texinfo. Looks great in gv on unix for me.

Maybe you converted to PDF? I'm struggling with that just now. If I
"ps2pdf" it, then it looks revolting in acroread (bitmap fonts.) If I
generate native PDF (texi2pdf), then it looks good in acroread except
the one picture isn't scaled properly. I'm not sure how to
conditionalize out the picture in PDF output, either..

I should also generate HTML and info formats, as a backup for reading
on the computer.

Cheers,
Luke
