To be honest, the only use I normally have for PostScript
files is to make some other type of files from them using
ImageMagick or Ghostview. PostScript files are the only
way to get decent fonts from direct graphics routines.
Since this process is almost completely automated now,
I don't really even think about ugly fonts anymore.
I just make nice looking PNG and JPEG files of all my
graphics output through PostScript intermediate files.

Cheers,

David
