bold font when using figures

[pjanssen]

Hi all,

Could you guys help me solve a mysterie (to me at least). I am working
on an article in two columns. When I insert images using the graphicx
package. All figure labels and the text on the page the figures are
placed show a bolder font than regular. I tried almost anything. Code
used:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.45\textwidth]{linker.PNG}
\caption{Protecting the linking molecule.}
\label{linker}
\end{figure}

Am I doing something wrong???

Bug in adobe acrobat reader: when a png with an alpha channel is
included on a page, the alpha declaration applies to the whole page
contents. Adobe declared that such nonsense is correct behavior
so now it is a bug in pdftex. (When you say you tried almost
anything,
I gather that doesn't include viewing the pdf with anything other than
adobe products.) I understood it is "fixed" in recent pdftex.

thank you for this information - I have been working on a slide
presentation &
been rather puzzled and annoyed with a colour bias (too bright) in
acrobat
reader, but not xpdf (Texlive 2007, as distributed with ubuntu 8.04).
Encouraged by your post, I replaced pdftex (which was 1.40.3) with the
latest
version - and it fixed it! Eureka!!

Indeed I did not test my viewer (did try different computers). I'll
read the information and see what fits me best.

Thanks for your help.
