I just tried to use LyX for my little paper I have to write, but there seems to
be some issue with my Preferences.
Here are two versions of the same Document, one processed through LyX, the other processed through TeXShop, which both use pdflatex:
www.pogona.net/eight_lyx.pdf
www.pogona.net/eight_texshop.pdf
As you can see, there's a big difference in Quality. Maybe someone has a tip on
how to improve the output quality of LyX.
What did you do in LyX to generate the first file: View->PDF
(pdflatex), File -> Export -> PDF (pdflatex), or something else? The
file properties of the first file indicate that it's using an old
version of the Adobe PDF standard (1.3), and it shows no embedded fonts.
The TeXShop version is using PDF 1.4, and it contains the usual CMR
fonts (or subsets of them) embedded. The LyX output file indicates it
was created with Quartz PDFContext, which suggests to me that it was
generated in something other than PDF and then converted to PDF. (The
TeXShop file says it was created with pdfeTeX, which is what I would
have expected from both files.)
