It has been a long time since I played with ghostscript.  Back when I
did I recall that the font quality was a bit lacking due to using
scaled bitmaps instead of vector fonts.  I am reasonably certain that
this would have improved over the intervening years... is this the
case?  Are the fonts on par with a "real" postscript printer's font
scaling?
