I can give a partial answer to the pdflatex problem: pdflatex uses type 1 outline fonts by default, instead of bitmapped fonts, which is good because it makes the pdf image crystal clear. Whereas the bitmap font info exists for every point size, the outline font info apparently exists only for 5 point, 7 point and 10 point, and the intervening point size are interpolated. amslatex has a style file cmmib57 to solve this problem for one of their fonts, and any other package enabling you to use type 1 fonts should have the same.
BTW, pdftex is still alpha software, and my experience is that with complex documents pdflatex has been creating pdf files which the acrobat reader could not read. But for simple documents it works great. Hans Ehrbar -- Hans G. Ehrbar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Economics Department, University of Utah (801) 581 7797 (my office) 1645 E.
