The problem still occurs in 10.04 LTS. I get Type 3 fonts with \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and Type 1 without. The latter is typeset slightly differently (font seems to be slightly larger horizontally, at least some lines are word-wrapped earlier).
I would like to raise the priority of this, as people have been complaining about my bitmapped fonts since I switched to Ubuntu, and only now I learned that removing the fontenc line (which I always put in my files) solves the problem. Apart from that, it is not a LyX problem, but a general problem of Ubuntu's standard LaTeX setup. I'm not an expert on how the system is set up, but maybe somebody with a little more insight could open a new bug? For anybody stumbling upon this by googling just as I did: The Latin Modern fonts are included in Ubuntu by default, giving another possibility to get proper T1 fonts. Specifically, I tried the following combinations in a TeX file processed with pdflatex: F = \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, L = \usepackage{lmodern}, C = installed cm-super package {F}: bitmap font, smaller typesetting, filesize 412 kB {}: vector font, larger typesetting, filesize 420 kB {F,L}: vector font, larger typesetting, filesize 543 kB {F,C}: vector font, smaller typesetting, filesize 579 kB As I cannot visually distinguish Latin Modern from Computer Modern, I don't know which font has actually been used for {} and why it is so much smaller than the other vector font files. Anyway, I think that {F} should produce a vector font file with a standard Ubuntu installation. -- LyX should recommend cm-super for vector fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261312 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
