I have proceeded a new installation of LaTeX (in a new system: Ubuntu 12.04), I was installing from tug.org. Previously I was using TeX Live installed by apititude, on Ubuntu 10.04.

I'm using Kile as editor, xdvi for dvi, Okular for pdf files.

In all my LaTeX files I was using encoding utf-8x (\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}). In the new installation I was getting error message from inputenc: utf-8x definition not found. I've found that utf-8x is outdated, so I've changed to utf-8 and it worked.

When I run command latex (view with xdvi) the dashes are normal. When I run pdflatex, the dashes are in bold and whole text doesn't look nice. Here is the screenshot of a part of the document:

UPDATE

I've removed whole installation and proceded a new one, this time without unchecking anything. The log file contains two

It looks like you haven't installed the CM-Super fonts, so with the T1 font encoding (that's used for Polish) the fonts are bitmap. I suggest to do a full install. – egreg Nov 17 '12 at 13:29
@egreg I've done almost full install. The only thing I've uncheck was language packages that I don't need. I didn't uncheck Polish :) – maria Nov 17 '12 at 13:44
@egreg I've just tried to update cm-super package. Terminal output: Executing action update cm-super tlmgr: no updates available Completed. – maria Nov 17 '12 at 13:46

Can you try adding \usepackage{lmodern} to your preamble? – egreg Nov 17 '12 at 14:55
@egreg I've tried, and it works :). Although I don't understand why previously I didn't need it, I'm happy it's working now. Thanks a lot. – maria Nov 17 '12 at 15:04
