I downloaded the cm-super
package and for comparison, created 5 versions of my document with different fonts:
- Computer Modern
- CM-Super
- CM-Super with
microtype
- Latin Modern
- Latin Modern with
microtype
All 5 versions were then uploaded to Google Docs and viewed with their PDF viewer which AFAIK generates PNG images for the browser to display.
Here is an image showing a portion with Computer Modern:
This is Latin Modern with microtype
:
As you can see Latin Modern was rendered into an ugly duckling. The same happened to CM-Super too. Disturbing about this is that CM-Super and Latin Modern look much better in Adobe Reader than CM, so it seems I have to decide between online and offline viewing.
My question is:
- Why does this happen?
- How can I disable
cm-super
in MiKTeX if I decide upon using the original CM font? Is uninstalling in Package Manager the only way (and does it work)? (Sorry for so distant questions.)
EDIT: MWE
Unfortunately you can't switch cm-super
on and off so simply.

\begin{document}
A természettudományok az általuk vizsgált jelenségeket gyakran differenciálegyenlet-rendszerrel írják le. Ekkor fontos szemponttá válik annak eldöntése, hogy az adott rendszer stabil-e. A stabilitás hozzávetőlegesen azt jelenti, hogy a külső körülmények (kezdeti feltételek) piciny megváltoztatása nem okozza a rendszer működésének (a megoldásnak) radikális megváltozását.

EDIT 2: It seems that Google Docs' problem is with vectorized fonts in general. The non-T1 encoded original CM fonts also looked ugly. (The T1 encoded CM fonts are raster fonts.)
\pdfmapfile{}
at the beginning of your document and no map file will be read in. If the document uses only CM (or, more precisely, European Modern, as you're using T1 encoding), the bitmap versions will be created and used. It's not difficult to create a new map file that doesn't use the CM-Super fonts.
