Volker, 

One possibility is that the Times Roman font being used by ghostview does not 
quite match the metrics used by groff. What happens when you print this to a 
proper postscript printer (i.e. not rasterising the output with ghostscript). 
The font metrics groff uses for the postscript driver are the standard Adobe 
fonts which all postscript printers will have embedded.
