Well, After reading the short but informative section and searching using Google and even trying to figure out what is going on manually from the files I think I understand the problem. According to the manual, Lyx uses the T1 encoding, and thus the newer EC fonts. I'm assuming that's because of the multilanguage support, right ?
It can easily be verified using dvips. Here is the output (part of it): kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. dvips: Font ecrm1728 at 8000 not found; scaling 600 instead. dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output. Exactly what is desribed in the manual. What I don't quite understand is why everything was fine with Lyx 1.2.x. I mean, what's the difference ? Lyx 1.2.x had multilanguage support as well. Did it not use the newer EC fonts and/or the T1 encoding ? So, adding the ae package is the only option (aside from using pslatex) ?
