I don't understand why this should be more noticeable when displaying it on the monitor in the reading room, unless it's a resolution problem.
Because it is almost readable on the LCD, but when it gets projected on the screen for some reason there are all sorts of vertical lines next to many of the characters.
If I recall/understand correctly, Adobe Reader uses font antialiasing by default, something called Cooltype; whereas evince, and almost all the Linux PDF readers built against poppler, don't apply any font antialiasing/smoothing. I'd try tinkering with the font settings in Adobe Reader ("font smoothing" settings).
