Thank you. I hadn't noticed this particular section in the LyX
documentation. To summarize the docs,
1. add the following lines to ~/.dvipsrc (create if the file doesn't
exist):
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
2. add the following to LaTeX preamble:
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
3. or, the following could be added to ~/.lyxrc, but is not recommended:
\font_encoding default
For the 3rd thing, setting Layout/Document/Language/Encoding/Default
didn't help so I assume .lyxrc file should be modified each time when
using different encodings. I feel this is clumsy and it's easier just to
modify the generated LaTeX file.
And if using the 2nd thing (aecompl), only postscript files will have
outline fonts, not PDF (either pdflatex or even ps2pdf!) so it doesn't
really help for PDFs.

Using pslatex, not all fonts appear as outline fonts in PDF files (using
either pdflatex or ps2pdf), for example parentheses (). However, in
Postscript file everything is fine.
Maybe i'm using old or misconfigured software though (RedHat 6.2, gs 5.50,
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d). I don't use gs 6.50 since it heard it
doesn't work with LyX due bugs.
