In some cases you actually may want T1 encoded fonts. The solution is not
to remove the above line, instead (this is copied from a script, hence the
comment marks):
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Make the pdf directly from the latex file
# Notes: for this to work ok, the following must have been done:
# 1. ~/.dvipsrc file must contain the lines
# p+ psfonts.cmz
# p+ psfonts.amz
# 2. The latex preamble of the lyx file must have
# \usepackage{ae,aecompl}
# This is so that T1 encoded fonts come out looking good in the final pdf.
hope this helps,
