In the "Walkthrough" section, chapter "Creating your first LyX
document"(http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Walkthrough). It's mentioned to
increase on-screen readability for PDF previews compared to bit-
mapped fonts, but I personally find that vector-based fonts (ae vs.
default) have also a cleaner finish on a laser print out - that's
why I wanted to use ae in the first place.
If you have CM Super installed, the default option will use vector-
based fonts. On Mac, I use Gerben Wierda's installation of TeX Live
(via i-Installer), which allows you to use Hoefler Text as your font
by including in your preamble:
\usepackage{gtamachoefler}
(There are some options for it as well as packages for using other
standard Mac fontns as well, which he has documented.) Or there's
always XeTeX.
