I dont have such problems with GPL gs 8.15 and antialiasing on. (See attached file).

It is a GPl gs 8.15 issue.

Maybe a change on the command line in order to specify antialias?

Anyway, new task: antialias by default on gv.

I forgot to mention that this is with GPL Ghostscript 8.15.

It is also present in gv 3.5.8 (as installed as /usr/X11R6/bin/gv on red hat 9).

It is probably not an easy thing to fix :(.

pdflatex small2e; gv small2e.pdf renders the Computer Modern fonts quite poorly.  (These are the standard outline fonts, not bitmaps.)  Compare with xpdf 3.00 rendering.

latex small2e; dvips small2e -o; gv small2e.ps does better (same fonts), although still not great.

Toggling State->antialias on and off makes no apparent difference.
