Thank you for you guys' pointers to pdflatex and pstill program. I am
trying to convert my thesis to pdf and met problems with both approaches.
1) pdflatex
Use pdflatex on the tex file generated by lyx, I get error message

! Error: pdflatex:
Font ecbx1440 not found in map files
===================================================================
But if I comment out the line in the tex file
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
Then the pdflatex would not complain.
2) pstill
Again, if I use unmodified tex file generated by LyX, pstill needs a long
time to convert the resulted ps file even I use
dvips -Pcmz -Pamz thesis.dvi
to generate the ps file.
The result is much improved with "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" commented out.
Can anyone comment on these results and how can I diable the output of
"\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" line in the tex file exported by LyX?
Thanks.
