Afaik this only applies if you use bit-mapped cm fonts, I _think_ the
documentation is a bit out of touch with reality. OTOH, if you produce
them at the size you are going to use them, no further scaling is
needed, and the letters are included in resolution independent type-1
fonts anyway. So the docs make it more of a problem than it really is.
(the point is that dvip may round the _position_ of letters to fall on
the grid. With bitmapped fonts this makes sense.

In that case: try psfrag, combined with the dvips -E trick. It has
worked for me with great results in the past. At least the positioning
is more or less automatic. Contact me off-list if you want to receive a
sample.
