I kept generating the PDF via
latex: tex -> dvi
dvipdfm: dvi -> pdf
and all was good and dandy with my output PDFs.
However, now I am trying to format an article which has Metapost-produced PS figures inside, and thus I must go via the
dvips: dvi->ps
ps2pdf: ps->pdf
(or maybe dvipdf: dvi->pdf)
route.
Unfortunately, whether I do it this way, or add a -D160 option to dvips/dvipdf to change the DPI accordingly to the iliad's DPI, the letters look "jumping" in a line on the Iliad, with a +-1px fuzz relative to the baseline and non-even vertical lines -- +-1px in width as well. Ugly to the extreme.
dvips -D160
also causes the following gripes on the output:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 160 --mag 1+0/160 --dpi 160 ecrm1200
mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 160; ignoring mode.
mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 160 dpi devices.
mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvips: Font ecrm1200 at 160 not found; scaling 600 instead.
dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.
(repeated for several fonts used by the document).
Has anybody found a way around that?
