People can't read my pdf's

[Maria Gouskova]

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.

Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

Maria

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.

Oh, I should have mentioned that I've tried:

pdflatex
ps2pdf
DVI
dvipdfm

So it's something that is either a problem introduced by an update of
Mac OS, or it's an Acrobat problem.

It's also relevant that this happens with very simple files--just an
article class file with a title, an author, and some paragraphs. No
fancy fonts.
