Turns out that the ec family fonts as typically brought in by the T1 encoding isn't scalable -- I learnt that from comp.text.tex. There is a commercial TeX distro that offers them scaled. The ae package seems to remap the glyphs to the original underlying OT1 cm fonts (by Knuth) AFAIU. Anyway, if somebody selects their own (scalable) fonts, all is fine, the problem happens just for the poor souls like myself that, on one hand, use the T1 font encoding, and, on the other hand, don't request any particular fonts explicitly in their document.
