-
The Axiom Tutorial uses bitmap fonts, as LaTeX does by default when exporting to PDF. 

This means the PDF looks horrible on screen, and is probably larger than it needs to be.

There are several Axiom Tutorials. See

http://www.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/AxiomInterface

There is also the Axiom Tutorial that is distributed with the
Windows binary. See link under Start/Axiom

All of these look fine on my system. I am using Acrobat Reader
7. Download it from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Older versions of Acrobat did not display all fonts properly.
