Hi all, Some of you might be familiar with the poor quality of the fonts when viewing a pdf file created from a lyx document. The fonts look pixelised and it is not possible to mark text.
The reason for this is the \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} statement that lyx automatically adds to the document header. Commenting it out would do the trick but we don't want to lose the European special characters, so an additional package can be used to fix this: \usepackage{ae} should always be included when fontenc is included. According to http://www.uni-koeln.de/rrzk/kurse/unterlagen/latex/ergaenzungen/pdftex.pdf (if you read German), this controls the use of AE-fonts (whatever they are) that are needed to support the use of Type1 Fonts in pdf. For the moment, I have helped myself by putting this into my preamble but please check if it would make sense to always include it. It would save others from the hours of debugging me and my sysadmin at uni have spent on this problem. Thanks for your attention. Regards, Andreas PS: Please CC, as I'm not a subscriber to this list.
