This should be Layout->Documents->Fonts.

It seems he was using LyX 1.1.6pre2 in which steps 2,3 should be replaced by
2. Choose View->PDF from the menu.

pdflatex works with PDF images files, AFAIK.

IMHO, don't try pdflatex until you have more experience.  You
can try:
1. Choose "pslatex" on Format/Document/Font.
2. Export to PostScript
3. execute ps2pdf your-file.ps

You can play with hyperref package for get PDF's features, for
example (on your LaTeX preamble):

\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={Title of %
%your document},urlcolor=blue,%
linktocpage,letterpaper,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

Converting Lyx files to PDF

2000-12-27 Thread Dr. Antonio Botelho de Sousa

One more question
I followed the information you gave me to convert Lyx to PDF files.
But now i have some problems.
If i view in PDF(pdflatex) it generates erros with the .EPS images i have in 
the book.
If i view in :PDF only the signls of the equations (+ -=) disappear and it 
cuts also the las lines of some pages.
But with the Poscript options everything goes pretty well.
Can you help me and excuse me, but i am a beginer with Lyx; but i like it 
very very much. Thanks once more

i suppose, you are using lyx older than 1.1.6.

choose in layout->document->characterset->pslatex
than file->export->postcript
in the bottom line shall be a command like ps2pdf ...
it's defined in ~/.lyx/lyxrc

maybe that your pdf-file is saved in your lyx-temp dir
/tmp/lyx...

2000-12-22 Thread Dr. Antonio Botelho de Sousa

Does anyone can tell me if there is a way of exporting Lyx files to PDF.
Of course i can save the Lyx file as a PSf file and then use Acrobat 
Distiller in Windows.
But can io do that directly from Lyx.
Thanls for your help.
