Tom Kiffe has a version of pdfTeX for OzTeX. Not for free, but  
affordable.

It's possible that OzTeX's TFM files are pretty old while either the  
PostScript Times fonts or urw++ Times clone fonts the dvips tool uses  
are pretty modern. Are these Times fonts included (embedded) in the  
PDF output? When they are not, than it's the system's Times fonts  
that get used to display the glyphs on screen. And it's the  
PostScript printer's built-in fonts then that get banned on paper.

When you find out which fonts are actually used to display on screen,  
you could create new TFM files from them ... or use Fourier (Utopia)  
to set math/text?
