Sure enough. Printing in Bitmap mode seems okay, but I'm seeing the  
equations raised up above the baseline by about 1 point in some cases  
and 2 points in others. So that's not an option.

Here's something else interesting: If you select a text cell and use  
the Options Inspector to change the FontType option to Bitmap and  
then back to Outline, the problem doesn't come back. At least until  
you close and reopen the notebook.
