I've tried a lot of experimenting with PDFs and fonts:
GhostScript produces PDFs that use Type 3 fonts and results in blocky/bitmapped look
Acrobat, I find is slightly nicer, because it creates PDFs that use Type 1 fonts but it's still faint as most people are complaining about.

The best font that I have found for the reader when creating PDFs is ComicSans (around 14 to 18 point on A4 size with a very small margin all around say about .1mm to .25 mm) because of its uniform thickness.

Does anybody know how to switch the rendering from 2bit(4 shades) to 1 bit(b&w) that might help the rendering?

Cheers.
