Luckily, time is not short (the talk will be on monday) and I can live
without anti-aliased eps. Unfortunately, I really can't begin to show my
institution's logo, since the text underneath it simply is too ugly and
unintelligible to show people that presentations in physics actually _can_
be done without PowerPoint and Windows and with LaTeX (nice formulas) and
Linux (nice and stable OS). <sigh> In gv, the logo looks beautiful. Maybe
I can resize it and 'anti-aliase' it with some program like the gimp? Any
ideas?
