TeXmacs, PDF and bitmap fonts

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to generate a PDF file out of a TeXmacs document
by the following chain:

TeXmacs -> PostScript -> PDF

I use ghostscript (ps2pdf) for the last conversion.

The resulting PDF file looks really ugly on a screen!!

Well, Adobe acrobat reader does a lousy job of rendering bitmap fonts
and TeXmacs uses bitmap fonts exclusively. Even native PostScript
fonts like Times and Helvetica are first converted into bitmaps and
are later included as bitmap fonts (!) in the .ps output.

[Q] Is is possible to preserve PostScript fonts as PostScript fonts in
the .ps output??

Any hints?

Thanks,
--Leo--
