ok. I understand that. I think that the source of the problem could be that I use a beamer.layout which I do not remember well where I got, and there were differences with respect the one that the conversion tool covered, but I am not sure. Anyway, I can live with this. > > > > - the generated pdf embbeds type 3 fonts (bitmapped) > > - the look of the fonts is quite different > > > > I believe that if you want the Adobe standard fonts, you should select > Times Roman, Helvetica and Courier for Roman, San Serif and Typewriter > respectively.

The default font of the beamer.layout was San Serif and lyx-1.5.2 selects "Default" for the San Serif font and i think that this was the problem. When I have selected Helvetica for San Serif following your advice everthing looks the same as before (including Type 1 fonts). Thanks a lot for your help Paul. Best wishes
