with my LaTeX installation and it produces output readable by Acroread. And
I compiled also the LaTeX export of my LyX test file (with File / Export /
Latex (pdflatex)), and this produces also a pdf file readable by Acroread.
So the problem does not come from my LaTeX installation.
Could you display correctly the pdf file I sent in my first message ?
Not in Acroread.
Could
you send me the pdf output you created successfully, so I can check if I can
display it with my installation of Acroread? Thanks.
The file I generated worked fine in my Acroread so it should work fine
in yours too. Attaching anyway.
No, I cannot display it with my installation of Acroread, so it would
seem that the problem comes from a lack of adaptation between LyX and
Acroread in the way LyX (or rather pdflatex ?) points to the fonts, and
the way Acroread is supposed to get their location, at least for the
versions of Acroread we use (on my current machine, I use Acroread
v8.0.1) ?
This reminds me of a joke about Acrobat reader : it is is so named
because of the contortions one has to do to avoid its bugs :-) Well, so
it seems that the "solution" to the problem is either to avoid using
Acrobat Reader and when posting pdf files on a web site, to warn people
to use other software than Acroread to display the pdf ; or to enforce
the inclusion in the pdf output, of all fonts used, as suggested in the
reference given by Liviu,

Thanks a lot to Liviu, John and Vincent for their remarks!
Best wishes.
