   is O.K.

That is because you dont use type1 fonts while creating the 
postscript. The raster fonts might look better in GV, but will be 
ugly looking in Acrobat (type3 fonts).
   
   Is there some way or any option to have good printing and viewing
   on Linux as well as on Window.

When you make postscript from dvi, please use the following command:

 dvips -Ppdf <filename>

so that type1 fonts are used while making the postscript instead of 
raster fonts.
