Folks, I am a new LyX user, and have a very basic question. I am using Lyx 1.5.1 under Ubuntu 7.10. I believe the TeX system is TeXLive.
I created a new document (of class article), wrote a few lines in it, and then wanted to make a PDF. I selected View > PDF (pdflatex), and then looked at the resulting document in Evince. It seems to have two problems (as least, problems for me). First, the paper size is A4, and I would prefer Letter. Second, it seems to be using bitmap fonts (Postscript Type 3, I think), rather than outline fonts. I tried to fix the A4 problem by setting the paper size in Document > Settings... to "Letter" and then re-making the PDF, but it still seems to be A4. I tried the two other ways of producing PDFs, dvipdfm and ps2pdf, and both solve the page size problem, but not the bitmap font problem. Nevertheless, I like the fact that pdflatex goes directly from the source LaTeX file to a PDF, so it would be nice to get the page size right with pdflatex... Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix these things?
