Thanks for your answer!
If I use \usepackage{pslatex} it will display perfect in KGhostView,
gives me an error message about a missing font (symbol) in Acrobat
Reader for Linux, it shows me the doc but some characters are missing
and in AR for Windows it won't open at all.
If I use \usepackage{mathptm} it displays perfect again in KGhostView,
same problems as above in AR for Linux and nearly perfect in AR for
Windows - only brackets, integral/root signs are pixelated.
I think I can live with that - many thanks and (little bit late): Happy
Easter!
Martin
