Poor text rendering in Okular and Document Viewer

[anna_vt]

Binary package hint: kdegraphics

I just opened a pdf in Okular and Document Viewer and it is hard to read the text. I'm sure when I used to look at this pdf in Jaunty it looked fine with Okular but now the quality looks very poor since upgrading to Karmic. I installed Adobe reader to try another program and it looks much better (see attached screenshots).
I did find similar bugs, but they seemed to be from older distributions

Okular uses poppler for PDF rendering
