This is what I did until GS 4.0 came out. Of the people complaining about GS fonts, how many have tried 4.0? I forget who, but someone donated fully hinted fonts for GS 4.0, and they look every bit as good as the ones I used from ATM previously. The quality of gs output went up dramatically for me when I upgraded to these fonts.
