OTOH, without the code, the output depends on your LaTeX installation too:
* if "CM-Super" is installed, it is used as T1 substitute for CM.
* if "CM-Super" is not installed, the bitmapped EC fonts are used as T1
substitute for CM.
This is, because LyX has the strange behaviour of setting the font encoding
to T1 (while the LaTeX default is OT1) but not setting the recommended
T1-encoded font (LModern)!
