I agree entirely. I am lucky enough to be able to use Acrobat to
translate to PDF, but this will not be possible for most people.
Even after conversion to PDF, the fonts used in most PostScript
versions are unclear when viewed on-screen, though they do print
acceptably. Presumably, this is because they were originally
authored in TeX systems, and then translated to PostScript.
