No, this is not the font problem, fonts look ok (please, look at my
original post).
The problem is that gv (and the family) produce horrible dithered images
and do it very slowly. It seems that ghostscript's x11 device is to blame.
So I was wondering if there is alternative pastscript viewer with a
similar capabilities, which does not suffer from the dithering.
Xv looks good, but it does not support multiple pages.
If you've seen GSview for windows - this is how it should look like.
