Well, maybe newer versions of acroread support antialiased bitmapped fonts
too.
It is true that with gv bitmapped fonts do look more fuzzy than outline
fonts (probably because ghostscript tries to be smart and not to antialias
vertical and horizontal lines) but, IMHO, the fully antialiased bitmapped
fonts look actually better (because the vertical and horizontal line edges
have better than integer pixel position).
Any way to enable full antialiasing in ghostscript even with outline
fonts?

Interesting experiment. Now I still get bitmapped font with ps2pdf--but
with pdflatex I get outline fonts!
