Text appearance (was Re: Object-Oriented Programming?)

I suspect that the issue is the TeX "computer modern" fonts. They are
bitmaps optimized for printers and hence don't display well on computer
screens. Acrobat at least used to do a poor job with them as well. I assume
that the reason some tools do better is that those tools special case these
fonts and substitute something better.
