Ah, yes.  I've been using ae with pdflatex.  I don't remember if that
was a part of Slink's teTeX either.  Pdflatex makes a pdf directly 
instead of a dvi.  Apparently, pdf's are similar in structure to dvi's,
and it does a pretty good job.  To use it, you just substitute the
latex command with pdflatex.  Images also must be included a bit
differently.

Another font-related tweak I use is
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, but I don't know that it would make a 
difference for this issue.

Happy TeXing,
