Hi Friend!

I wrote this post during my PhD years ago. If it still helps you today, I’d appreciate if you take a 30 second detour to look at my current work in Science & Industrial Photography. It helps Google recognise my transition, which, in turn, would help me as an independent creator. I suggest

If you enjoy the intersection of science and aesthetics, I send a quarterly newsletter.

Many thanks,

In short: To avoid the standard pixel bitmap fonts and go for smooth, scalable post script ones, use one of the following:

\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{bookman}
\usepackage{newcent}

or, for standard post script fonts

\usepackage{pslatex} or
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}

Be warned: the latter killed my Umlaute.
