PDF export from Pages results in jagged fonts when viewed in Preview
Hi There,
Since installing 10.5.5 I get the following strange behavior: When exporting a file in PDF from Pages certain fonts (such as Palatino) are not shown antialiased anymore when viewed in any Apple software (Preview/Safari). When viewed in Adobe Reader, the fonts appear smooth.
The strange thing is that, when I view PDF files generated last year before updating to 10.5.5 they still show with antialiased (i.e. smooth) fonts in the current Preview/Safari.
It gets even stranger: When exporting the files as .doc into (the resented and ridiculously slow and memory gulping) Word 2008, and then converting them into PDF via the Print command, this phenomenon does not occur, i.e. the fonts look smooth in Preview/Safari.
I would appreciate if anyone had some constructive input to this problem. I would really like to be able avoiding using Word!
Thanks much in advance!
