Someone asked few months ago how to get math fonts in vector to
postscript/pdf files.  This is a bit late but I have found a way...

Select some vectorized font from Document menu, like "Times".
Export as TeX file.
Run pdflatex several times on it:
        pdflatex file.tex
        pdflatex file.tex
        pdflatex file.tex
        pdflatex file.tex # to be sure
Now the created PDF file will have vector math fonts that look very good
for example with Acrobat Reader. You can probably get vector math fonts to
Postscript file by "printing to a file" from Acrobat
Reader. Unfortunately I couldn't get any free program to create good
postscript file: Ghostview's pdf2ps produces horrible result and xpdf's
pdftops left some lines off from the ps file.

I tried this with teTeX 1.x, which comes with pdftex.

The problem with direct postscript from normal LaTeX is that the math
fonts get all bitmapped and look horrible with acroread -- and are
somewhat resolution dependent.
