I never even knew this program existed. Thanks :)

I understand teTeX has support for the Postscript fonts, but they don't
seem to be the "default" in that if I take a regular latex file and run it
through pdflatex, I still get the ugly bitmapped fonts. In the past I was
told to put

\renewcommand{\familydefault}{put}     

in the LaTeX preamble in LyX. This works but I cannot choose from
available fonts. Is there a method in LyX or in Latex directly to make use
of the Postscript fonts and be able to choose amongst them?


Thanks for your help.
