[OT?] Using Latin Modern fonts on Ubuntu

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi,

I wonder if anybody can point me in the right direction here.  I have a 
bunch of LyX docs I produced on Win XP using the Latin Modern fonts, 
with PDF outputs.  The PDF file display fine on Ubuntu Hardy, but if I 
try to edit the docs there or write new docs with LyX (1.5.6) on Ubuntu 
using Latin Modern, the PDF files contain no text.  (Images, bullets, 
background colors are fine -- just no text.)  That's using pdflatex. 
Using dvipdfm, I get an error message saying the DVI file couldn't be 
converted.  Using ps2pdf I get text, but I'm not sure it's Latin Modern 
(the PDF file's font property says "Type 3").

I'm using TeXLive on Ubuntu (MiKTeX on Win XP), and I have the Latin 
Modern package installed on Ubuntu.  Since the XP-generated PDF files 
seem to display correctly, I'm assuming it's not a lack of an X11 font.

Any ideas what I can do to convince TeXLive to generate PDF output with 
Latin Modern fonts?  It's both weird and annoying.

TIA,
Paul
