I'm testing this in Ubuntu. I am NOT "testme" it with LyX, since give
us a LaTeX file "testme.tex". Using your example code, I do get 2
graphs, one complete, one a skeleton. The second inclusion in your
file is a mistake. With the attached "testme.tex", I get good dvi
output with "latex testme.tex" and if I create a pdf version of your
eps file and run pdf latex thus:
$ epstopdf tangent_impulse.eps
$ pdflatex testme.tex
Then I get good output as well. This makes me believe the problems
you are having trace back to the availability of fonts to your LaTeX
processing system or your pdf viewer.
I also attach a LyX file "pjtest.lyx" I created that DOES work to
include the tangent_impulse graphics and LaTeX markup. For me, the
only required change from a basic lyx doc was to put
\usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble. I get both dvi and pdf output
that are fine.
