Display issue in Adobe Acrobat (L in particular)

[space-time]

I saw this long time ago, never had time to troubleshoot it.

I have nothing fancy installed. OS X (10.4.11) and Adobe Acrobat Reader (9.0.0). No extra fonts, in fact I never opened fontook to mess with fonts.

here is how the same document looks side by side in Preview (left) and Acrobat Reader (right). notice the funny rendering of the lowercase L character on the right side.

I am not really looking for a fix, I am just curious what's causing this. It doesn't really bother me.

I experience this too.
lowercase l, capital I, numeral 1,
depending on the font.
Prints fine. RIPs fine. displays wonky.

Uninstall Acrobat Reader. It is not needed and, in any case, it's inferior to Preview.

Open Font Book. Resolve duplicates then verify your fonts.

"Uninstall Acrobat Reader. It is not needed and, in any case, it's inferior to Preview."

I find it useful to fill in forms sometimes.

Will try that, thanks.

It's a scaling problem. Does it happen at 100%?

Preview allows form-filling.
