I think it's a problem on my end.  Actually, I tried looking at a
different document than what I was looking at before, and the
antialiasing looks quite acceptable.  I bet it was a particular font
in the document I was looking at originally.  I think that acroread
has better handling for fonts that aren't installed on the system.
