Comment 10 for bug 20310

Yes, if you look closely xpdf does seem to render things a tiny bit better than evince does.
At least speed is no longer an issue, because evince renders very vast. (especially the latest 2.19.9x series with poppler 0.6).
But looking at the specific location pointed out by the screenshot, with the diagram and the captions that go with it, you can see a difference. The difference is more pronounced on LCD screens than on CRT screens. Not a large difference, but a little difference non the less where evince/poppler looses out shlightly on xpdf.
