put in my preamble
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
Then I get a decent font in Acroread.
\usepackage{lmodern}
(the Latin Modern fonts) is a much better choice nowadays.
However, when I put a double quote character in Lyx-code, I get a black
square as output for the quotes. (Single quotes are OK, though two
single quotes together gives the same problem.) I do not know how many
other characters would give the same problem.
This is a known limitation of the ae package. You might try
\usepackage{aeguill}
but I'd still recommend Latin Modern.

conflict with good font for Acroread and Lyx-code quotes
I am not managing to get two things I want with fonts:
I want English text + .png graphics to look decent in Acroread. I get
complete output using pdflatex, but as the Extended Features Guide
5.3.6.2 mentions, the fonts look awful, so I followed the suggestion and
put in my preamble
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}

However, when I put a double quote character in Lyx-code, I get a black

single quotes together gives the same problem.) I do not know how many
other characters would give the same problem.
If I remove the preamble addition,
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
The font in Acroread goes back to awful, but at least I do see all
versions of quotes in Lyx-code.
I am running the binary for Lyx 1.3.7 on Windows XP.
There are other suggestions in the same section 5.3.6.2 on the Extended
Features. There is a reference to adding a ~/.dvipsrc. I am not sure
if that location is only for Linux. I assume the the directory ~ for me
in XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew Harrington
and I put .dvipsrc there, but adding it did not seem to make any difference.
Thanks,
