Hmm - you (or someone else) might be able to answer a question that has
mildly bugged me for years, but I've never bothered to actually find out
the answer to. I've seen many documents, written in TeX, where the
output PostScript is typographically beautiful, but which, when
converted to PDF, display a rendering problem that makes them look at
though each letter has different vertical alignment. What actually
causes that? Some font weirdness or something?

Mike.
