Re: Does true TTF work in LyX on Linux
Silly question: Are you using Evince? If so, try acroread. I have found that Evince sometimes gives strange fuzzyness. For what it's worth, I don't find the same problem with Evince on Gutsy. Apologies if this is irrelevant. Declan

Look at the fonts used. Make sure they are type 1. If not, maybe you need
either:
\usepackage{lmodern}
or
\usepackage{cmlgc}

To elaborate a bit on Neal's point, in LyX 1.5.x you can go to Document
- Settings... - Fonts and set the Roman, Sans Serif and Typewriter
fonts to their Latin Modern choices. That will automatically insert the
needed \usepackage in the preamble. Alternatively, you can set them to
Times Roman, Helvetica and Courier respectively, which are T1 fonts.
In LyX 1.4.x and earlier, you can pick the Adobe T1 fonts from the font
menu (I think the choice is labeled 'psfonts'). To use Latin Modern,
you need to insert \usepackage{lmodern} in the preamble.
I seem to get pretty good results with the Computer Modern fonts, as
well (don't know if that relates to my being on Windoze).

Of course, if one of the displays has inordinately low resolution, that would make everything look fuzzy. More likely it's either the viewer app you're using under Linux or the supply of screen fonts installed with your X machine. Keep in mind that fonts for printing don't always have screen versions, and screen versions that exist are not perfect matches (printing is likely at 300-1200 dpi; screen fonts are around 72 dpi as a rule, aren't they?). Seems to me that was one of the selling points when MS introduced TrueType fonts -- with proper drivers, they look about the same on a screen (with decent resolution) as they do on paper. So your viewer (or maybe the X terminal) might be saying don't have a display version of this font, but this other one is close enough. /Paul

Does true TTF work in LyX on Linux
Him, I am using Ubuntu Feisty. I want to create PDF documents with LyX that use well-defined (not fuzzy) fonts. I understand the whole pixmap thing and for printing, they're great. But in all the PDF files I produce, they look fuzzy. I tried the lmodern and the ae thing, but they are still fuzzy on screen. I need to produce a PDF document that does not fuzz up when I zoom to 200% or 300%. So far, I haven't been able to do that on Linux. Is it possible at all with LyX? Or do I need to go the OpenOffice route? Or am I missing something with the explanations on the Wiki? If you have used them, especially on Linux, and the PDF documents are as clear when exporting from OpenOffice, please share how you did it.
