My teTeX installation (1.06) has the Type 1 CM fonts included and seems to use them rather than the MetaFont ones in dvips and pdflatex. Joe -- Joseph A.

Re: Type 3 font in pdf output turns invisible?
I got a good tip from Herbert and I think he emailed it just to me, not to the entire list. I hope he does not mind if I share the essence of it.

The problem is that acrobat reader <4.05 had bugs with fonts. It is still desirable to create a PDF with no type 3 fonts. Read Extended.lyx to learn how to do that. Note that while using pslatex will give you type 1 fonts for text, latex will still use some Computer Modern fonts for some symbols, for example the minus sign. So you should always set up your ~/.dvips so dvips will use type1 fonts.

Type 3 font in pdf output turns invisible?
On RedHat 7.2 I'm running lyx 1.1.6fix3 with ghostscript 7.03. I set fonts to "pslatex" in document settings and used export to pdf from. It looks pretty, except some of the math disappears. In particular, acrobat reader does not show the minus signs! There is no warning. If I view the same pdf file in xpdf, there is an error message saying that the document uses Type 3 fonts and it can't use them. I read in the ps2pdf docs where it says it converts Type 3 fonts to high resolution bitmaps, so I'm confused. I've checked and confirmed that the dvi and ps output exported from the same file is fine, only the pdf is trouble. The frightening part is that I only noticed this problem by accident, since I'm not a professional proof reader it is unlikely I would catch every inconsistency between a pdf and a lyx file.
