HINTS FOR LATEX USERS Three types of problems can arise when converting LaTeX-generated files from postscript to PDF (Adobe Distiller 4.0). Fonts Computer modern fonts convert to poor pictures on the computer screen. While the printout is OK, the quality of the display can be improved only by changing the fonts. The key is to use the times package. Insert the command \usepackage{times} into your file. This cured all the readability problems we found. Minus sign in the exponent We found that the converter makes a _ character from all the minus signs (-) in the EXPONENTs (and often subscripts) of mathematical expressions. The solution for this is to write \mbox{--} in the exponents, instead of simple -. Ugly, but it works. Another possibility is to use the ps2pdf utility in Ghostscript. The above problem disappears using ps2pdf. URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html Incorrect spacing of certain characters after the above problem The above solutions also cure this problem.
