How to improve font display in evince?

How to improve the display quality of fonts in evince? Or how else can you watch pdf and djvu on Linux, so that the fonts are displayed more smoothly (beautifully)?

Picture for comparison:
Piccy.info - Free Image Hosting

The picture, of course, does not correspond to the question, since it is a scan, as noted above. But what is asked is clear. The simplest answer is this: for PDF, install Adobe Reader. It smooths itself and therefore in Linux it will be just as better than in Evince (but slower, what can you do) both for text and for a monochrome raster, which is also anti-aliased. See for yourself (only preview here due to size, click to see full):
• Text (150%): I don't know about DJVU. • Scan (85%):

If I understand the question correctly, then the text in evince is just a scan of the page, that is, it is not text, but an image. Evince uses poppler to view pdf, you can try the program on another "engine", but I doubt it will get better. Evince is a pretty high quality program.

most likely poppler displays pages "as is", and to make it like in Adobe, you need to use anti-alising. Unfortunately, I have not come across this, so the only advice is to google)))
