In addition to all the excellent advice already given: it is very likely to
be a problem with the font you're using (or that your PDF viewer is using).
One font that just won't render properly is Calibri. It has hinting that is
just plain wrong. Sometimes, a broken font can be made usable by selecting
"Outline this font" in the PDF export dialog.

And sometimes, you can improve the situation by experimenting with your
OS's font smotthing settings (called ClearType on windows and anti-aliasing
on Linux).

But, all in all, on-screen font rendering remains somewhat of a black art.

With kind regards,

Bert
