ps2pdf question

 I am running fptex-0.4-beta1 and GSview 2.9

 I generated a postscript file with
 Type1 fonts using
 dvips -Pcmz filename.ps filename.dvi

 When I use the Distiller to create a .pdf
 I get a .pdf with Type1 fonts that looks sharp
 on the screen for my class.

 I want to get away from the Distiller
 and use ps2pdf for converting the .ps to .pdf

 How should I made the call to ps2pdf such
 the the .pdf uses Type1 fonts?

 I suppose this is trivial but I failed
 miserable. I tried for example:

 ps2pdf -sfontpath#c:\tex\texmf\fonts\type1 filename.ps filename.pdf

 but it did not work, I still get Type 3 fonts in the .pdf and it looks bad
 on the screen.

 Thank you for any help.
