Hi, I have finished my PhD thesis (Many thanks to all contributers to LyX). When I went with my postscript file to the printer we found that the resolution of the fonts was too small.
It turned out that I had the standard EC bitmap fonts with a resolution of 600dpi. After a day playing with latex and dvips I have now five versions of my thesis: 1) With low resolution bitmap fonts 2) With higher resolution bitmap fonts (by defining another printer for dvips) 3) With scalable CM (bluesky) fonts. For this I had to swith off T1 encoding 4) With scalable CM fonts and T1 encoding using the ae package 5) With scalable lmodern fonts I have a few questions: With Version 3-5, I cannot use large, bold, smallcaps font. Latex uses the default font instead. I have worked around it by switching to large small caps. Is there a way to get this combination of font attributes? - Am I correct when I say that lmodern is to EC fonts what bluesky is to CM? - Why is ae considered bad? Because it is a pseudofont that performs tricks to make accented glyphs? I have concluded that lmfonts are the way to go. I only found this after nearly a day searching internet, an experimentning. I think that LyX should automatically load lmodern whan T1 encoding is used and the fonts are available. Bye, Martijn Brouwer
