Both Acrobat and ggv2 on my machine look the same as yours. Acrobat shows it a little "softer" which makes it look better, but when you zoom in, the fonts are still very jagged. This looks fine in Acrobat: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/CURRENT/early-adopter.pdf But ggv2 only AAs the larger fonts. This is most likely due to what's stated here: http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/2.1.3-explained.html To quote: I.5. I've upgraded, and my text is still ugly. Why ? You might be using low-quality fonts. For example, some versions of the Ghostscript fonts (Nimbus et al...) are notorious for containing poor or even buggy hints, and this generally produces bad output with FreeType. Try to experiment with other fonts (the Luxi ones are pretty).
