It won't include EPS files, and lays out some files in a broken way
completely unlike LaTeX proper.

OK, I did this and I'm still getting ugly fonts in my PDF file via ps2pdf.
But I noticed that if I use, say, utopia.sty, I still get ugly fonts, and
Utopia only comes as a PS Type 1 font, doesn't it?
Could I be mistaken about what is causing the ugly fonts? Is it something
other than a Type 1 problem? pdfLaTeX produces lovely fonts, so I know
"pretty" versions of the CM fonts can be included with a PDF file.
For an example of what I mean by "ugly fonts", see
<http://www.ludism.org/rpg/osprey_ugly.pdf>. This was produced using the
suggested fix above.
Thanks for your help, Colin.
