Well, I feel there are 2 separate things.
1) Eqn's output is usually typographically worse than TeX's. There are
definitely reasons for this, mainly eqn's simplicity. This is not what
bothers me now.
2) The very problem that I face. I produce .ps, it seems ok on screen
in gv. It prints wrong. When ps2pdf'ed, resulting .pdf prints ok.There
must be traceable reason. And there should also be, I believe, some
idiot-proof procedure to enforce a good result when printing .ps.
Isn't it so, that I should be able to embed all needed fonts into the
.ps and that then the .ps sould print the same anywhere? I thought
this is what tr2post together with psfonts do. But I must be
mistaken...

Thanks for further comments.
Ruda
