Hi

It's the first time I use these programs in Debian (I'm using them in Mandrake and Gentoo and never had problems): the problem is that the fonts look really bad both in xpdf and (even worse) in acrobat reader...


This is because they are using Type 3 (bitmap fonts, which are very ugly)
as opposed to Type 1 fonts.


it looks like pdflatex is to blame: the new files I generate with pdflatex in this machine are ugly, while the old ones look fine...


The blame rests with your font settings.  What fonts and font-related
packages have you installed on your system?

mhh...  I installed tetex-base and other related latex packages...  what
fonts package should I install?
