When I view my old documents (i.e. the pdf files generated by LyX on
Windows) on Linux (Ubuntu 7.04) the quality is very bad. I guess this
is related to the installed fonts.

. Anyway you can view a
sample pdf generated on my machine (BTW with pdflatex) at:
http://ares001.altervista.org/job/downloads/dispense.pdf
When I look at that using an Adobe7.0 plugin to Firefox it looks very
nice. Perhaps you could post a screenshot indicating the problem?
Otherwise you could receive as many different responses as there are
combinations of PDF viewer and OS!
It's less good in xpdf or kpdf. This is a known problem, I believe. The
default LaTeX fonts tend not to look so good in the xpdf-based readers.
Changing the font, to Times, say, should solve the problem.
Richard -- what do you think of Century Schoolbook? I've used that for my last
few Ebooks, because onscreen it seems to look black and legible, and it seems
to be available with LyX.
Any of the Type 1 fonts will work fine, so far as xpdf and the like are
concerned. There's something funny that happens with the CM fonts. As
for the way Century Schoolbook looks, it's pretty good. I find it a
little fussy for my own writing, though. I'm just a boring old Times guy....
