On ubuntu it should be as easy as typing $ apt-get install lyx on the command line, or selecting lyx in synaptic and pressing apply button.

What exactly is bad? 1) bitmap fonts, as explained in http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF#toc5 2) you use some special fonts that are not embedded in the final pdf. > maybe once I install LyX I will get > it working as expected? please let me know if you have any > suggestion... Pdf's, by definition, should not depend on any LyX files. Check http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF and if you do not find a solution send a minimal example of your pdf. Vasek
