I typically LaTeX with a translucent background with the file in front of TeXniscope (and sometimes Skim). On my new machine, however, the workflow speed-up is greatly diminished, because the rendered file often looks... bad. The standard font looks all blocky, the math renders incorrectly, etc.
If I make no changes to the .tex file, save, and re-examine the .pdf, the pdf changes---it seems to cycle through a few stages: bad http://www.eberkowitz.com/images/tm/incorrect.png medium the text renders correctly, but the math is bad good http://www.eberkowitz.com/images/tm/correct.png
As far as I can tell (ie. 10 or 12 experiments), no such issue exists when I compile with Latexmk.pl
I've tried deleting my font caches, after reading Q0.1 here at [ http://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/ ], but to no avail.
Anyone else have a similar experience? Anyone have an idea how to get this to stop happening?
Thanks a lot,
Evan

Evan,
If you copy the PDF files at different stages and compare them, are they actually different? My expectation would be that, if you're not making any changes to the input files, the resulting PDF files should be the same.
Also, what are the differences between your old and new machines. (I'm assuming you didn't have this problem on your old machine.) Are they running different versions of Mac OS, for example?
Thanks, Robin
