Slightly off-topic and I don't have a clue who to ask about this: looking at precompiled SICL papers like http://metamodular.com/SICL/sicl-specification.pdf (and quite a few old TeX papers too), it seems that the TeX compiler used bitmap fonts in the output files, which my laptop's document viewer blurs in a way that hinders readability for some reason.

But if I compile the specification myself, it uses the nice vector fonts and it looks fine. I don't know what to ask either but it's odd.

or font is embedded in pdf and whoever compiled version on metamodular had compiled a font which is not to your liking

no-defun-allowed: Some of the PDFs were generated by my favorite coauthor on a Mac, and we noticed that they look different then.

I would have tried to sort out the difference, but we were kind of in a hurry before the submission deadline.

Well, that screenshot is also from a Mac. They do look slightly different on my Linux desktop, but it's not an issue on it.
