Yes, this is something I noticed. On windows for example, the JPedal
viewer which is included in LilyPondTool produces awfuls results ;
Adobe is not very good either. I used Foxit Reader, which is by far
the best PDF viewer (and it is free as free beer), along with Sumatra
which is free as free speech, but lacks many features.

On Mac, the native PDF-to-display that they call Quartz is absolutely
awesome ; whenever I want to see what a PDF really looks like, (and
whenever I can), I use a Mac for both export and viewing.

On Linux, the JPedal is crappy as usual :) but some PDF viewers are
quite good (evince is my favorite; it make LilyPond scores look really
great). Besides, Linux has some native anti-aliasing features which
make fonts and stuff look really better than on Windows.

So, maybe you should consider using another viewer, another output
format (high-res PNG?).. or another OS ;) [OK, never mind]
