Hi,

It worked fine a couple of times, and then it went wrong again. 

When I was about to go crazy today, I checked the emails, which I forget to
do during the past one  week, and found some replies from forum users. I
followed the suggestion from Richard to CHANGE THE FONT FROM ROMAN TO TIMES
ROMAN, and then tried dozens of times. Now, I am sure that Richard's
suggestion really works!! Thanks to Richard, and all those who tried to help
me!!

Would it make sense to have some kind of switch to change all them at once 
instead of changing each individually? I mean in addition to the current 
scheme, not to replace it.

I am asking for curiosity as I used to add \usepackage{lmodern} to the

If you set Roman to Latin Modern and leave the rest to default, then sans 
and tt will also use the lmodern shapes. Default means here: Use the 
appropriate counterpart.

In other words: Latin Modern Roman and Standard for the other shapes is 
equvalent to \usepackage{lmodern}.

I have a headache problem with exporting the LyX doc into PDF one. The
export to DVI is awesome, like a beauty, but the export to PDF is aweful. It
looks like that those words are surfing on the waves(please find the sample

(2) Reinstall PDF Converter

(4) Print beautiful DVI output into PDF
