The chain tex -> dvips -> ps2pdf produces an ugly pdf.

One solution is to use the txfonts package

I use pdflatex (a variant of pdftex) to generate pdf from my
latex2e docs. It offers its own commands for importing graphics.

If you are interested I can post you a latex skeleton for
use with txfonts and imported graphics.
