Dear LyX users,

For the past week or so, people have been having trouble opening and
printing PDF files I generate with LyX. I am trying to figure out what
changed. My details:

LyX 1.6.9
Mac OS 10.6.7
PDF viewer: Preview.app 5.0.3

With this setup, I can view my PDFs just fine, and they print fine as
well. People using Acrobat Reader (9 or 10, both Mac and Windows)
report that everything but the title of the file comes out looking
like dots, and I verified this on another Mac that has Acrobat
installed. Preview.app worked fine. The Acrobat error message reads,

"Cannot extract the embedded font 'TXVCLW+SFRM1095'. Some characters
may not display or print correctly."

There are several different ways to export as pdf, and the pdf files generated by various methods are not the same. This one probably depended upon specific fonts that your people did not have installed. This is common for us linux users. pstopdf gives, usually, readable output, but text may not be selectable.

It is probable that television drama of high caliber and produced by
first-rate artists will materially raise the level of dramatic taste
in the nation.
