Thanks for the news.  Does anyone have tips on how get an accurate
on-screen rendition of type 1 fonts in Acroread 5.0.5 for Linux?  I
just tried it, and the default rendition seems distinctly inferior to
4.0.5.  I'm viewing a pdftex-generated document in Lucida: in 4.X the
screen glyphs look very much like the printed ones, while in 5.X the
screen glyphs seem like a vague approximation.  (Sorry, off topic I
know, but tempting.)
