This happens because by default LyX follows LaTeX default. In this sense, what you complain about is a LaTeX bug. The choice has bee made to stay with whatever LaTeX does for defaults. While people used to workprocessors complain, people who exchange documents with other LaTeX users are happier.
Another solution besides what you proposed is to use "Almost European" fonts. This is a virtual fonts that uses the postscript OT1 fonts that ship with LaTeX to emulate postscript T1 fonts. This avoids the overhead of either cm-super of lmodern. Finally, you can also use the "Save as Document Defaults" button of the Document Settings dialog to select your current settings (font, paper...) as default for new document. -- 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
