I've noticed a similar thing with Lily2.4: Acrobat 4 and 6 seem to display 
PDFs generated by LilyPond with all the fonts and lines quite blotchy if the 
command -Ppdf is included when running dvips. Not including this command 
seems to make quite a good result in Acrobat 4 and 6. Acrobat 5 works the 
other way around., producing good output with -Ppdf and bad without.
