Description crusaderky 2004-06-18 13:28:48 UTC 
I create a text document with OpenOffice.org 1.1.1-r1, using the font "Times New Roman", size 12, imported from Windows 2000 SP4. Then I export it to PDF.

If I open the PDF with acrobat reader or KPDF, the result is smooth. However, if I open it with KGhostView (KDE-3.2.2), antialiasing goes off and the result is horrible. All other PDF documents work well with KGhostView.
In KGhostview's options, antialiasing is ON.

FWIW your PDF looks like crap under GPDF as well.  I'm not sure this is a valid bug with KGhostView... but rather a problem with how the PDF is created.

This looks good to me with kpdf on KDE 3.3.1

ah-hem.....

The problem persists with KDE 3.3.1.

My apologies.

However, it seems like kghostview is the culprit.  This should probably be filed upstream.  See lwn.net for a recent overview of the quality of pdf readers.
