If I export an Org file to LaTeX, the resulting .tex file contains the following in its header: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{t1enc} Long story short: The resulting .PDF file from pdflatex looks quite bad in evince, and quite good in Acroread. By "quite bad", I mean the fonts are practically illegible, very thin and wiry. If I comment out *both* of those package requirements, recompile the PDF, the resulting PDF looks great in all viewers I can find. The Fonts specified in the Properties of the document change when I use those packages versus not use them. However, the packages are the default for good reason I'm sure, but C-c C-e d fires up Evince on my system, so the default is not very pleasant. I realize this isn't org-mode question per se, but can anyone else replicate this, and do you know what's happening? It seems like a potential problem with Evince specifically, since Acroread seems to handle the resulting PDF just fine. Finally, does anyone know why the t1enc package is required, the only thing I read about it was the following: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=t1enc Thanks! Erik
