It's hard to tell without a time lapse comparison of how the quality looked in the past.

The image even has an alt text showing part of the LaTeX code generating it. So this is likely to be a digital effect, not the result of bad scanning. From a closer look, I would guess that it might be an anti-aliasing algorithm gone horribly wrong. But why only in a limited region? I have no idea. -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen <URL:http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hanche/> - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell |
