Thanks for all the suggestions. I converted the initial eps to png as Luigi suggested, except that the program in my system is gsview32. Then used GIMP to convert png back to bitmapped eps. Had to crop out a bunch of white space in GIMP before making the final eps. I think I improved the final appearance some by using a 2.5X font in the original tex file, then scaling it by 0.4 when I finally inserted the eps into the latex source using \includegraphics. The final image still looks kind of crappy, even though I used 300 dpi in creating the png. Maybe I should try black and white rather than grayscale.
