Indeed it is strange since (at least before summer) I didn't have this  
problem. And the problem is present only when I print the files  
(unfortunately I do not have other printer for testing). To remove it  
I actually replaced the problematic fonts in TeXmacs/fonts/type1/ec/  
(essentially ecbi10.pfb, ecbx12.pfb and ecti10.pfb by equivalent  
version obtained by reencoding some of the Latin Modern fonts. This  
make me  think about the fact that this replacement can be pushed into  
the standard distribution since the Latin Modern version of CM have  
more compact representation than the default TeXmacs ec*.pfb fonts  
(which as far as I understand are obtained by tracing the MetaFont  
generated CM font bitmaps). Do you think this is possible in full  
generality? Latin Modern contains a lot of gliphs and my replacements  
seems to work fine.
