Need help with latex fonts: Output is too dim
I have a problem where all the fonts come out too dim. Is there something I can do to get a different look and feel from the pdf files?
My tex file looks like
\documentclass[a4paper,twoside]{article}`
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\oddsidemargin 0cm
\evensidemargin 0cm
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}
\rfoot{Raval, Ketan R -13223}
\textwidth 15.5cm
\topmargin -1cm
\parindent 0cm
\textheight 26.5cm
\parskip 1mm
\begin{document}
\fontencoding{\encodingdefault}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\fontshape{\shapedefault}
\selectfont
So how can I improve the overall look of the pdf?
thanks

Maybe you don't like Computer Modern Roman? Try another type like Palatino. You can change the number of dots of the type to give it a heavier look, say using 12pt fonts.
Otherwise, I agree with noviceoof, everything looks pretty standard with your .tex file. It's almost possible that the Latex font path finds fonts you don't like, but I would try different fonts before testing this.

If you just want to change your font take a look at http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/ LaTeX actually has quite a few good fonts: P
