It won't include EPS files, and lays out some files in a broken way completely unlike LaTeX proper. >> I have all the Blue Sky fonts, and pdflatex uses them, but LaTeX still uses >> the ugly Type 3 CM fonts. > ...snip... >However, the thing that makes it work for *me* are the following lines >in /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps: > >| % Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of >| % bitmap fonts for computer modern & co. >| p +bsr.map >| % p +bakomaextra.map % "real" bakoma instead of interpolated bsr >| p +bsr-missing-interpolated.map % this one *or* the previous one.

But I noticed that if I use, say, utopia.sty, I still get ugly fonts, and Utopia only comes as a PS Type 1 font, doesn't it? Could I be mistaken about what is causing the ugly fonts? Is it something other than a Type 1 problem? pdfLaTeX produces lovely fonts, so I know "pretty" versions of the CM fonts can be included with a PDF file. For an example of what I mean by "ugly fonts", see <http://www.ludism.org/rpg/osprey_ugly.pdf>. This was produced using the suggested fix above. Thanks for your help, Colin.
