FYI, if you like shape of the original TeX fonts, try to set
default in that font, and insert following in your Layout/LaTeX
preamble:
\usepackage{ae,aecomp}

I personally prefer ae (and yes, it is sad, that it is not
available in Layout/Document dialog box) -- of course, it works
anywhere you wish.

use times or palatino respectively in your Layout/Document/Font
- both should work as well pslatex does.

You won't believe it, but there is not problem of {La}TeX but
rather of Acrobat. And it is probably the most frequent answer
question in any TeX-related community on the net. For much better
explanation throw something like "Type3 Acrobat" in
groups.google.com and read the longest thread you will get.

It is not stupid, but it leads to understanding inner working of
LaTeX, which is not obvious for newbie.
