Hello,

This is a someone-please-explain question rather than a how-to
question. I've been experimenting with LyX and LaTeX for producing
PDFs. I want to write documents at home and print them on the
laser-printer at work. It's all Windows at the office.

The PDFs that I produce look beautiful in GhostView at home, but
when I open them in Acrobat for Windows, the fonts look hideous! I
don't much care because the printed copy looks great - better
than I could produce with Word, with so much less frustration.

Why does this happen? Is it because the (expensive) laser-printer at
work has the right fonts programmed into it, but regular Windows
desktops don't?

Should I worry that if I try to print on a different printer, I might
get an incompatible font? Should I somehow install more fonts on my
Linux box? I'm running Debian Unstable.

Thanks,

mark
