Description Michel Alexandre Salim 2008-05-29 01:22:11 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Evince and Okular use the same library to handle PDFs, but for some reason, Okular's output is more smoothly anti-aliased. There does not seem to be any applicable setting, both in the menus and using gconf-editor, to adjust how much anti-aliasing is done in Evince.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a PS or PDF document (preferably older and scanned, rather than LaTeX-generated)
2. Open the same document in Okular
3. Set zoom level to Fit Width in both and compare (the documents are otherwise very different in size at the same zoom level. Bizarre)


Actual results:
Okular's output looks much better anti-aliased -- and does not render any slower

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
