Most viewers present Type1 fonts (ie fonts using a vector representation)
much better than bitmap fonts. There shouldn't be much difference in
printing, though.

At the cost of some typographical finesse, you could add
\usepackage[10pt]{type1ec}
to your document. To begin with, this would reduce the size of the
resulting PS/PDF file. Then you would have to lobby with Norbert to
provide a cm-super-minimal package, that only includes the 10pt design
sizes ...

In another email you wrote that configuration files like config.ps etc are
missing. This is really, really bad and it does not surprise me that you
get such error messages under this conditions. However, I am not really
up-to-date wrt texlive-packaging, hence i have no idea how it could
happen, that these configuration files are missing.
