Thanks, Jean-Marc. I got the attached .pdf, which looks nice.
Unfortunately, no matter what I do (in linux), the produced .pdf files have the same problem, whether I use a third-party program or not. In Windows, the same problem exists if I use Mathematica's "save as .pdf" option; if I use a program like PDFCreator, then things look OK. I don't have the tremendously nice chance to use OS X's built-in pdf writer.
I haven't yet tried all of the permutations of print-to-various-ps-formats-then-convert.
Hopefully, the direct-to-pdf option will work in Mathematica in some future versions.
Cheers,
C.O.
