concrete and ccfonts packages render math symbols not in vector form but as bitmapped. How can I get rid of this?

I added an example snapshot from free latex math fonts,Fig.4 which seems to have same behavior . You can see the difference in math and text characters. I have no problem with Euler version of math symbols

Only by changing fonts. These as you say are bitmapped fonts and this is one of their many limitations. – Yiannis Lazarides Dec 7 '11 at 18:51

You could try Neo Euler for concrete if you use LuaTex or XeTeX. – morbusg Dec 10 '11 at 22:21

i guessed that i should find type-1 versions of these fonts, searching type1 concrete math fonts yields only commercial Micropress fonts. I couldn't find a free substitute font. – Hakan Tiftikci Dec 12 '11 at 16:36
@HakanTiftikci: you can use mftrace to create autotraced type1 version of the fonts, the result will not be "professional" quality but it can be better than bitmap fonts. – Khaled Hosny Dec 12 '11 at 18:17
