recently, i converted a text file to ps (html2ps, ps2pdf). it was 
displayed w/ anti-aliased font in 2x magnification. i didn't see any
ugly font rendering like you described.

are you sure that you have (1) anti-aliased option and (2,3) serif
and sans-serif font substitution options checked?

if you wish, i can send you a screenshot.
