LyX ⇒ Thin Letters in Output

[naRanja]

Hey Guys,

I'm just writing my bachelor thesis in lyx and so far it works fine, but:

When I decide to save the document in pdf format (preview or export), it seems that the text is displayed not correctly. It doesn't depend on the screen and anyhow the printout is fine.

I attached a small part of text, where some letters are obviously really thin, letters in Math environment and capitals are ok, the others not. As far as the printout is concerned there is no problem, that's quite weird, but I also would like to have a good readable pdf file; What could I do? I already changed the font size.. no effect..

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

it depends on the used fonts, it also might be a viewer issue.

If you use the default Computer Modern font, but T1 encoding, it can result in bad looking font since T1 is not supported by default. You could solve that by installing the cm-super package on your computer, using the package manager of your TeX installation.

Or, use a T1 supporting font. The high-quality Latin Modern is very similar to the default font, just add

Code: Select all

\usepackage{lmodern}

to your LyX document preamble.

yeah, that's it. I implemented the mentioned code line and now it works fine.

Thanks a lot, I guess the thread can be closed.

I guess the thread can be closed.

Great - you can do that by editing the first post in this thread (your question) and choosing the checkmark as topic icon. Then the thread is marked as solved.
