Text fuzzy, when I use French characters

I tried to resolve my problem in many ways but nothing worked well.

I have downloaded a LaTeX template that helps with my work; it uses this package

\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}

But because I write in French, many characters like é and à don't appear. So I add some package [that provides them] but, when I add that package, the text becomes fuzzy.

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\frenchbsetup{StandardLists=true} % to be included when using \usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}

Is there any way to resolve this, i.e. un-fuzz-ify the characters?

Welcome to TeX.sx! it sounds like the package you added calls in fonts that are present only as bitmaps. someone else may be able to tell you which fonts those are, and whether type 1 (outline) fonts are available. – barbara beeton Apr 10 '13 at 14:11

The easiest solution is to add \usepackage{lmodern} – egreg Apr 10 '13 at 14:13

As the others said: you are using bitmap fonts and you want vector fonts. See here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1291 – Count Zero Apr 10 '13 at 14:14

a salutary lesson. i have recently thought of removing the answer on “fuzzy fonts” from the uk tex faq (there is at least one other). i had imagined that “people don’t get that any more” ... – wasteofspace Apr 10 '13 at 15:17
@wasteofspace: somewhat related, by modern standards CM-Super really isn't that huge anymore. – Willie Wong Apr 10 '13 at 15:23
