I suspect it is a GNUS question in the sense that I can display the PDF
article just fine with xpdf, but in emacs only the cover page is legible
and all subsequent pages are only marginally legible. It seems either a
different (non-aliased?) font is being used by emacs or it can't find
the font it wants. That is, the issue seems to be emacs' access to
fonts, not that I can't properly display PDF files on my system.

It is a feature to hide my name in the summary? Everyone else has their
name shown in the line presented in gnus summary indicating who the the
message is from.

I'm afraid you've lost me on this. It seems to say that From headers are
suppressed and in their place is the To header line. I the first, for
anyone visiting the news group already knows to what group the messages
are being sent, but not whom they are from. I want my real name and
address just like all other messages in the summary. What code can I put
in ~/.gnus to get that that?

And now I'm completely confused. When I look at messges in gnus
newsgroups, my message line appears like "--> gnu.emacs". You are saying
that it does not appear that way for you? I want to see something like
"haines@histomat.net <Haines Brown>" in the newsgroup summary lines. Are
you saying that is what you see there?
