No consensus could be reached, therefore no change. LyX already departs from LaTeX defaults by changing the font encoding from OT1 to T1. (See the line \usepackage[T1]{inputenc} in the latex source's header.) With the LaTeX default OT1, you would get vector fonts by default, but also "faked" accented Latin letters (like öäü). BTW: installing the CM-Super fonts would give you the CM-Super vector font version of CM also with T1 font encoding automatically. >> at least I'd find an option on the document settings. Lmodern is supported by the GUI already in 1.6. I recommend activating this in your default template file(s). People never requiring accented Latin letters could also configure the font encoding setting in the preferences. Günter
