I know this isn't the traditional open source way but what do you think about having lyx tell you the URL for MFAQs? I mean presumably that wouldn't be difficult and would help a lot of newbies and not so newbies. Something along the lines of-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Your problem is that standard tetex without any additional tweaking does not contain Type1 fonts for T1 encoding (T1 != Type1). The things you can do are:
a) Go to /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config (as a root) and in the file updmap (if it is there) uncomment line saying type1_default=true and comment out type1_default=false.
Then there are two possible ways:
1) export your document to LaTeX and remove \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} line from .tex file and if you have non-ASCII characters in your file, then plain pdflatex filename should work.
2) Switch fonts in Layout/Document/Layout/Font & size to ae and run View/PDF again.
b) Install CM-Super Type1 fonts (be aware, that it is huge 70MB+ monster), which includes everything what you need. They should be newer versions of tetex (2+).
c) There is a one other set of Type1 T1 fonts, which I forgot how they are called (LatinCM?).
BTW, this is MFAQ (The Most Frequently Asked Question).

[error message] This is a common problem. Have a look at [URL] to see how to fix it.
Obviously this has the problem of ever changing URLs but if we could agree to have a top level Faq URL that is reasonably stable (or a caveat saying to search from www.lyx.org if the link doesn't work) we could just point people there and tell them to search using ctrl+f in their browser. This would at least tell people the problem is well known and is likely to have been solved.
