The PostScript/PDF export is under development at the moment, and
presumably the output will be cleaned up at some point.

Unfortunately we have no control over this -- graphics rendering is
left up to the PDF viewer.  Some will do better than others.  For
instance, on my system, xpdf (which can antialias text, but not
graphics) gives ugly chunky boards, but ghostscript (which antialiases
everything) does a nice job of rendering the points.
