Ah, yes. I've been using ae with pdflatex. I don't remember if that
was a part of Slink's teTeX either. Pdflatex makes a pdf directly
instead of a dvi. Apparently, pdf's are similar in structure to dvi's,
and it does a pretty good job. To use it, you just substitute the
latex command with pdflatex. Images also must be included a bit
differently.
Another font-related tweak I use is
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, but I don't know that it would make a
difference for this issue.
Happy TeXing,
