From: "Paul Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>###### I think I understand the problem that Diego reports. The pdf viewers in Linux are more accurate and if the fonts are not included in the pdf file, the quality of the document on the screen looks not so god, although on paper it looks perfect. If you are using the default LaTeX font, then put the following line in the preamble of your LyX document: \usepackage{lmodern} and your pdf files will look great on screen. I think I didn't get all of the 1st part of your reply, but I tried the suggestion it 2nd part with no success (at least on my machine): the output pdf is empty. I tried to export to pdf first as a normal user on windows: LyX prompted me to install the lmodern package, but it did not produce any result since I suspect that MiKTeX simply does *not* install the packages because it does not have write access to its folder (under a non-administrator account). Then I tried as an administrator and there it came the mess! No prompt for package installation and no output. Is it normal I can't even find the lmoder package on the MiKTeX Package Manager?
The default installation does not install lmodern. However, MikTeX does have it. (I have myself installed it on a MS Windows.) Try to find out how to install non-default packages with MikTeX. (I cannot at the moment help further, as I am on a Linux machine.) Paul
