Here's a more general question about printing from lyx and pdf. More often than not, if I save a document to a pdf from lyx, the text appears horrible in acroread or xpdf - blocky, fuzzy.
You are using bitmap fonts.
If I print the same document to my cups printing system and then select to print to pdf, the output is beautiful.
Cups mucks around in the ps and pdf output.
The ugly look of lyx-to-pdf files in acroread didn't translate to the actual printed output on paper, which is always fine, but the text is intolerable for reading on-screen.Your pinter - provided it renders in a high resolution - doesn't care for bitmap or outline
fonts.
Why would the pdf output from lyx be so poorer in rendering than that from my printer (via cups and print-to-pdf)?
If you have acroread installed add p +acrobat.map to your .dvipsrc. Your dvi and ps-files should look much better. Michael -- Michael Abshoff - MRB - Universität Dortmund - Telefon 755-3463 (intern) Where do you want to RTFM today?
