I followed the procedure you gave, and I cannot see a significant
difference between the xdvi and gv display. The little difference I see
is probably due to different rendering. When I compare the result of

latex nfssfont; dvips nfssfont.dvi; gv nfssfont.ps &

to 

pdflatex nfssfont; gv nfssfont.pdf &

I see no difference at all. 

The three files are at

http://people.debian.org/~frank/nfssfont.dvi
http://people.debian.org/~frank/nfssfont.ps
http://people.debian.org/~frank/nfssfont.pdf

if you want to have a look.

Can you send us an example where the backticks are incorrect?

Regards, Frank
