The Lyx Output Is So Pale

2011-04-19 Thread Ahmed Gamal
Lyx Users:

The output results for my Lyx documents are pale and not sharp I am not sure
what would be the proper terms to describe the problem.  But as an example I
exported an open office document to a pdf. and the output looked different
from the the output I get from lyx exporting pdflatex.

Attached are the two files.

I am using:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Lyx 1.6.9

Thank you.

Try changing the font of your LyX document. To do this, open the document, and 
then open the document menu and choose the settings item. Now choose the 
fonts page, and choose something for the Roman font.


To get the default font but less pixelated (what you call pale), choose 
Latin 
Modern Roman. Or, try experimenting with other fonts in that list. For 
example, 
my preferred choice is Palatino.
