Two documents exported using different exporters

Hello
I saw, that LibreOffice exports to PDF very badly. Font isn't sharp like in oryginal documents. When using PDFCreator, same font were normal. No more sharpening or something else.

Some times even, after exports using built-in PDF, and open pdf document, instead of fonts, there are bushes :]

Thanks for bugreport
Indeed, attached pdf looks slightly strange in Okular on Fedora, but looks perfectly in Foxit on Windows.

Please, attach ods document from which this pdf generated for additional testing

Hello
It was simple document in Writer. Now I use the newest version of LibreOffice Writer. Try it with builtin and print to file under Xubuntu 11.10.

I saw that these shapes are caused by reader like you said it before. If I use Adobe Reader under Linux it was ok, but if I use Evince it looks slightly strange.

Thanks for attachment
Now I can not notice any problem with pdf in Okular or Evince
May be it makes sense to wait for somebody with better knowledge about pdf than me.

Checked with:
LO 3.5.5.3 
Build ID: own W7 debug build
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Could not reproduce. PDF generated from attached file looks perfect in Adobe Reader X.
Comment 6 Jorendc 2012-12-30 11:51:02 UTC
Can not reproduce using LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 and LO master 4.1 with Mac OSX 10.8.2;

@Reporter: can you still reproduce this problem using a recenter version of LO (3.6 branch or even 4.0 beta's?).

Set this bug to NEEDINFO until reporter' reply/retest.

Thanks for retesting!

Possibly NOTOURBUG, I saw no significant difference in PDF attachment on comment 3. Tried to reproduce with the ODT attached also saw no significant difference (export using JPEG compression 90%, & PDFcreator printer with 150dpi).

Tested with LO 4.0.5.2 (Win7 32bit), Google Chrome, & PDF Xchange Viewer.
