It is highly recommended to use the bakoma Tex fonts found here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/
You need these fonts in particular: cmbx10, cmex10, cmmi10, cmr10, cmsy10, msam10 and msbm10. Install them into your system and make sure you have the install path set as a FontPath in your X11 configuration, then completely restart your X Server, if you use a display manager like kdm, you should also restart kdm. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace at the login should do the trick. If unsure, do a complete reboot.
