This isn't really a Lyx problem but I am just wondering if anyone has
observed this behaviour before.

I created a PDF of a chapter of my thesis for my supervisor.  I had used
the View-pdflatex and then saved the file.  I mailed it to my win95
machine and viewed it in Adobe Acrobat to verify that everything looked
fine.  It looked great.  I then printed it to my HP4MV and midway
through the document  alternate characters start showing up.  I then
send it to the HP4MV again but this time I send it to the instance where
it is configured as a Postcript printer (it is autosensing so that
shouldn't really be an issue).  This time it is flawless.

I then went back to my Linux box and use the export command to generate
PDFs.  I use PDF, pdflatex, and PS.  The first two look pretty rough in
Acrobat on the PC but look fine on paper.  The ps file wouldn't work in
ghostview so I had to convert it on the Linux box to a PDF and again, it
looked rough but printed ok.

So, I guess the questions I have are:
1)  Has anyone seen this before?
2)  Is there a solution, or just a work around?
3)  What method do you folks use to generate PDFs for others to view?

Thanks
