This is why I usually make PDFs to read; the fonts are nicer than the default, especially for bold & italics.

There's a procedure for changing the default fonts in the Reader, but I don't think it fixes the bold/italic problem.
I was kind of afraid of that answer. I think the simple solution is for now stick with Arial.
