Thanks Joe! Ok, I like Adobe Acrobat better than Ghostview. It surely looks so smooth in that early-adopter.pdf. Also, Ghostview is kind of slow from what I compare with Adobe Acrobat. Maybe, I can try to open it with the pdf editor and modify the font, then save it as with the smoother font. Maybe, I can try it on the Windows machine.
