Have you tried to process a normal LaTeX file (without
any music in it) to PS and then to PDF? How does the
resulting PDF file look?

If the output is not clear, then the problem is not
specific to MusixTeX, but general in nature: your DVI
driver puts Computer Modern bitmap fonts in your PS
files, instead of the Bluesky Type-1 equivalents.

To solve it, create a file '.dvipsrc' in your home
directory, and include the following lines:

p +TEX_DIR/dvips/bluesky/psfonts.cmz
p +TEX_DIR/dvips/bluesky/psfonts.amz

TEX_DIR is the name of the directory in which the TeX
distribution is installed. On my (Debian) system it is
called /usr/share/texmf ; make sure that those
psfonts.?mz files actually exist in your installation.

Unless you really know what you're doing, never change
any mapping files in the TEX_DIR itself. Instead,
adjust the mapping using configuration files in your
own home directory (preferably in a temporary test
account, to see what happens)!

If the problem is still not solved, you might have
accidentally broken your original TeX setup: reinstall
TeX and MusixTex.

Regarding your questions about PDF distilling -
ghostscript (gs) is just fine. Use dvips to generate
the Postscript output and ps2pdf (part of ghostscript)
to get a PDF.
