The original problem was that the cm-super installation of TeX Live does not 
support the same wide range of font sizes as do the EC fonts, wasn't it?

The problem with cm-super of TeX Live is: If a user needs help because of 
bitmap-fonts (Type-3) at pdfs or ps using T1 encoding he'd often be told to 
install cm-super. But with TeX Live he already uses cm-super. So the 
community has to know, that he uses TeX Live's cm-super (and which version of 
TeX Live) to tell him: use cm-super from CTAN or add \usepackage{lmodern} 
instead. Not good.
