Are sure that LaTeXiT does *not* use the ugly font? I mean, when you're  
using PK fonts from Computer Modern they look very ugly in Adobe  
products. Couldn't you try the same with fourier, mathpazo, and could  
be Latin Modern too? pxfonts and txfonts use AMS fonts. If you don't  
use a MAP setup to use the PostScript versions of the PK fonts you will  
see ugly glyphs. (I don't use AI, so it's close to pure theory what I  
write.)

French doc too, since Fourier is a French package)

There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
