This is the root of the problem: the cm-super fonts are not seen by  
pdftex. Pdftex is creating bitmap versions of the cm fonts in the T1  
encoding (actually the ec fonts). This could explain the ugly  
appearance of your documents.

How did you install cm-super?
Did you try updating maps manually using an updmap instead of an  
updmap-sys?
Did you try using the tex i-Intaller to simply configure the font  
maps (use the ``configure only''button and select only ``update font  
mappings'' when asked to select tasks to be performed)...

Because the "old" font encoding scheme (OT1) is used and only outline  
fonts are loaded.

Yes, see above...
