PDF rendering in Okular is terrible
Rendering of a MuseScore generated PDF looks like looks like a bitmap from the '80s when viewed in Okular. Anything but pure horizontals and verticals is so jagged you could build a Stairway to Heaven. The same file when viewed with Evince renders acceptably. Normally this would point to Okular as the guilty party, but I use Okular all the time in my work and no other program's PDFs ever come out looking so atrocious. Any idea what gives?

#59506: PDF export converts music font to raster?
Which version of MuseScore are you using? On which OS and version?

Musescore 2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. From the bug reports, I see this is an ongoing issue.

No. It's not on ongoing issue. MuseScore 2.0 PDF export should be OK on ubuntu 14.04. Could you attach a PDF?
The bug report Zack linked to was impacting a development version.

I'm attaching a pdf, along with screenshots from Okular (bad) and Evince (acceptable).

Looks flawless to me on my system at 400% view using Notable. Must be an issue in Okular, something MuseScore (via Qt) does that Okular isn't handling correctly.

Update:
The rendering problem I was having with MuseScore pdf output in okular turned out to be one of those tortuous version/packaging/conffile issues that occasionally plagues Linux distros.
