Google seems mute on the subject. I finally worked around this issue by changing the fonts from: Roman: New Century Schoolbook Sans Serif: Default Typewriter: Default to: Roman: Tex Gyre Schola Sans Serif: Tex Gyre Heros Typewriter: Tex Gyre Cursor I didn't try setting Sans and Typewriter to default: At this point I want them specified so this stuff doesn't happen to me on a future upgrade. Interestingly, it didn't matter whether I specified encoding as Default or T1 (is the default T1?, that would explain it). In this thread, Günter and Liviu gave some advice that in Günter's case I didn't understand, and in Liviu's case I'd had enough and just switched to using a Ubuntu VM to compile my books. This is obviously a workaround: I didn't identify the root cause of failure with New Century Schoolbook. And there's a lot of experimentation I could have done to narrow the cause, that I just didn't have time to do. But it's worked around: If you have trouble with pncr fonts and you use New Century Schoolbook, try TeX Gyre Scola and its brethren. Thanks Günter, thanks Liviu. And a big thanks to Fred Sias, who told me about the TeX Gyre fonts. All's well that ends well.

Remember, that LyX has the strange behaviour that the default for the font encoding differs from the LaTeX default (it is set to T1 for good reasons) while the default for the font is not accordingly changed. Depending on the LaTeX installation, this results in either bitmapped EC fonts or the "CM-Super" fonts beeing used: * the default fonts (CM) are only available in OT1 (7-bit) font encoding, * the fallback substitution with a standard installation are the bitmapped EC fonts (bitmapped fonts cannot be scaled, maybe this is your problem), * if the large set of CM-Super fonts is installed, it sets itself up as CM-substitution for several font encodings including T1.

Has font usage changed between 2.03 and 2.14
Hi all, I'm moving from Debian Wheezy with LyX 2.03 to Void Linux with LyX 2.14. None of my books compile on the Void machine. They all gripe about T1 fonts when the exported latex is compiled with the latex command. It seems like they gripe about pncr8t=12pt when I set the default font size to 12 points. I haven't been able to switch to Luafonts because that screws up in other ways. I suppose I could start installing old LyX versions to see if it's a LyX version thing, but that's very time consuming so I'm asking the list first. Google seems mute on the subject.
