I can see the ugly treble clef again.

Seems like this is the case.

I can't print it right now, but Ghostscript, xpdf and
Acroread are all consistent about the uglyness.  And a
crosscheck proves you right: doing the conversion (ps2pdf)
with a newer Ghostscript does away with the problem (even
when viewing the resulting PDF on the original machine).

Thanks for the info and the help.  Looks like it's not my
fault after all. :)
