Oh, Sorry, I'm not referring to reinstall Miktex, I just mentioned the
downloading and updating the package which Lyx needed will take one
hours, if it connected to "ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de";. Therefor, I
suggest the when configure stage started, at least you should let the
user choose a nearer server, or let the server as it is. You known, I
was in China mainland, connect to a server in German is really too slow.
But I have to choose one server as default. I've had a look what was the server with the longest
server-up time and this was tu-chemnitz.de. Letting the users choosing the server during the
installation is not possible because MiKTeX doesn't provide this feature. I also think that this is
something for the expert.
Nevertheless, most of the needed time is not used to download the packages, but is consumed by
MiKTeX to uncompress, extract, and finally recompress the files form the packages.
This is not a bug, T1 is not wrong but the correct default setting. T1
is the font encoding and has nothing to do with the font type T1!!!
To get correct font encodings for all languages, you have to leave T1,
LyX takes care for the cases where this must be changed (for example
T2 is for Cyrillic).
Yes, as we have discussed before, If I create an empty lyx file, and
leave the preamble empty, the generated PDF sees really badly.
Please believe me that T1 is the font _encoding_ and not the font _type_! If you don't trust me,
please google around or have a look at a LaTeX book.
Also, I opened the "Introduction to Lyx.lyx", by default, there are many
statements in preamble part.
Step 1, These code will confirm that the generated PDF has "font type 1"
embedded.
No, it only selects the font "latin modern", but only when it is installed. Yes this is a Type1
font, but as said this has nothing to do with the font encoding.
Step 2, But if I clear the preamble, then the PDF has many "font type 3"
bitmap font embedded.
That means that you have latin modern installed, that was used due to the preamble and now the LaTeX
default font "computer modern" is used - which is a bitmap font (Type 3).
When I change the reference tex encoding to "default", the the Step 2
above will generate the same "font type 1" PDF.
Where do you set this? In the LyX preferences under Output -> LaTeX -> TeX
encoding?
Can you give a explanation on that, seems the TeX encoding can greatly
affect the output PDF property.
No I cannot, because this doesn't work here and it will only work with MiKTeX. But LyX has to assure
that the font encoding is correct with all LaTeX distributions. (On Windows, you can also use the
distribution TeXLive instead of MiKTeX.)
