Hi Bennett, since your file worked fine on my system, too, I tried to
track down the culprit and it seems that it's the document setting on
font "ae". When I switched to palatino, it was ok. Are there no
italics in ae? I used this font because it was recommended on the LyX
on Mac Wiki page.
/I see the same thing in ae with the sans serif, though I get
italics with the serif font. I'm not sure what's going on; maybe someone
else knows. /
Yes, I've used sans serif and I had also problems with small caps. I
just used pslatex as font instead, cause is has a print out size similar
to ae and everything worked fine.
/ Where is ae recommended on the Mac wiki page? /
In the "Walkthrough" section, chapter "Creating your first LyX
document"(http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Walkthrough). It's mentioned to
increase on-screen readability for PDF previews compared to bit-mapped
fonts, but I personally find that vector-based fonts (ae vs. default)
have also a cleaner finish on a laser print out - that's why I wanted to
use ae in the first place.
