[pstricks] Custom tick label and tick interval

Aha, great stuff.  I had no idea pdfTeX was so grumpy with PSTricks.
Since I'm a Windows user I'm guessing VTeX is out of the question.
I did try the second alternative you gave me - TEX -> DVI -> PS -> PDF. It
works great - and it (including the rotated labels) looks awesome!
But - when using the select tool in the PDF reader, the selection isn't the
way it should be.

See the screenshot below

I did some troubleshooting and found out that it occurs when I use
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

I did some "research" and found out that I can replace the above with
    \usepackage{ae,aecompl}

What do they even do, and why should I replace it? I also noticed that the
PDF size changed drastically when I DIDNT use fontenc.

Thank you, SMiyata, for pointing me in the right direction regarding the
creation of the PDF and translating the log.
