-Default font

-Which default font do you prefer for the output?

-Answers:
-  By default, PDFLaTeX uses embedded computer modern family, which look good
-  on paper but poor on LCDs (even if outlined, due to suboptimal hinting),
-  and result in large PDFs.  rst2pdf uses the "standard" PDF fonts by
-  default (Times, Helvetica, Courier) which IMO look reasonable both on
-  screen and on paper.  Because they aren't embedded, it also results in a
-  smaller file size.
-
-
-Font embedding must be configured in the LaTeX installation.
