I am not managing to get two things I want with fonts:
I want English text + .png graphics to look decent in Acroread. I get complete output using pdflatex, but as the Extended Features Guide 5.3.6.2 mentions, the fonts look awful, so I followed the suggestion and put in my preamble
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
Then I get a decent font in Acroread.

However, when I put a double quote character in Lyx-code, I get a black square as output for the quotes. (Single quotes are OK, though two single quotes together gives the same problem.) I do not know how many other characters would give the same problem.

If I remove the preamble addition,
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
The font in Acroread goes back to awful, but at least I do see all versions of quotes in Lyx-code.

I am running the binary for Lyx 1.3.7 on Windows XP.

There are other suggestions in the same section 5.3.6.2 on the Extended Features. There is a reference to adding a ~/.dvipsrc. I am not sure if that location is only for Linux. I assume the the directory ~ for me in XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew Harrington
and I put .dvipsrc there, but adding it did not seem to make any difference.

Thanks,
Andy Harrington
