It is most likely a question of display typefaces. Many PDF viewers don’t extract typeface information from the PDF contents for display. I usually use Computer Modern for my documents as that’s the default for TeX and I write all my documents in LaTeX via LyX. Even if they don’t display well on your system I can promise you that when printed they’ll look beautiful!

Thanks for the offer of help with Word->PDF translation. I don’t have, own or use Word and don’t run Windows or OS-X. All my machines have been Linux-based since the mid-late 1990′s.

Regarding your PDFs, the text for some reason looks really gritty — almost like it was done with a typewriter. I wonder what font you are using? Perhaps I don’t have it. Or perhaps you need assistance with creating PDF’s from Word files? If so, I can easily create them for you. I have a Mac which will allow me easily create PDF files.

Anyway, I’m excited to take a look at your game for the first time. Take care…
