Hi John, I've found that many pdfs created in LyX on my Linux box look jagged and are hard to read on-screen on windows boxes, but look just fine when printed.
I suspect this is because the windows box doesnt have the fonts used, but the printer does. As far as I understand though, the fonts should be included with the pdf, but I might have gotten that wrong. You migth try to attach the fonts manually using pdftk and see if it makes a difference.
