Dear Sridhara

Thanks for the comment. I realize PDF is a path (and I do use pdflatex 
all the time) but is not a full solution. One problem is that sometimes, 
it fails to render things like the horizontal lines in fractions. (See 
e.g. eq. 1.1)

Also, since most pdf files are first converted to ps before going to the 
printer, unstable ps is not very desirable.

This might be a linux issue.

This particular output was generated by opening a pdf file
