Every system is different. Without the '-Ppdf' the minus symbols were not present 
on-screen

So is it simply putting this last line into /.lyx/lyxrc?

Yes I also got this ligature problem (fi, ff). But a friend of mine has already found 
the solution.
In the 'config.pdf' file (in my system to be found in 
'/var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/') there is the Letter 'G' which has to be commented out. 
Then the ligatures come as they should and hopefully no other problems arise.

Will see if this ps->pdf thing will become transparent some day.
