You should consider using "latin modern" or "cm-super" instead of ae (better quality). cm-super is a bit more tricky to install and a huge package, latin
Juergen, did you mean better quality in printed output or on-screen using Acro reader??
I installed both latin modern and cm-super. Here's what I see:
1. Using latin modern font (i.e., w/ usepackage lmodern, fontenc with option T1 and textcomp) and the font option in Lyx set to default with size 11, I get on-screen output (viewed in Acro reader) where the regular 11pt text is really light whereas the italic/emphasized text is pretty dark, the math is dark and the table lines etc are dark.. any idea why the default 11pt font is light?
2. With cm-super (I set the dvips converter to take option -Pcm-super) I still get pdf output (using PDF (pdftex)) that looks ugly in Acrobat reader.. however the postscript output looks great and so I'm assuming the printed output will also look great (I will test this when I get to school today)... isn't the cm-super set of fonts supposed to take care of that ugliness in the pdf fonts?
Thanks, nirmal
