I can assure you that this is not normal with Frescobaldi.

Did you use the precompiled binary or did you compile yourself? With other GUI 
toolkits (wxPython) I had to enable antialiasing, but since there’s no setting 
in Frescobaldi, either Qt does it always, or it’s activated in the code.

I’m still using the stable version 2.20.0. Version 3 switched to Qt5, there 
could be a problem - can anyone confirm missing antialiasing?

Is Acrobat your default PDF viewer (i.e. opens when you doubleclick any PDF)?
