Dear Rachel,
I've had a similar problem. What I have done is force lyx (latex) to use Type I
fonts. To do this, I have in the preamble:
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{aecompl}
and prevent Lyx from using the default encoiding "T1" by changing the
lyxrc file in ~/.lyx, as follows:
#\font_encoding "T1" <- this line is commented
\font_encoding default <- this I have added
