LyX ⇒ Poor Document Quality on Screen

[areymond]

Dear LyX users,

I wrote a book using LyX 2.0.2. I used the KOMA-Script book class with all options being implicit. I generate a PDF but I find the on screen result for the PDF of very poor quality.
I browsed the internet and found some people reporting the same problem but no real solution. Is there a way to improve the on screen quality of a PDF generated by LyX ?

I thank you for your suggestions.

Best regards,

Alain Reymond

Hi Alain,

perhaps post a sample PDF here, as attachment. It could be a font issue.

I thank you for your answer.
Here is an example. I find it uneasy to read on a screen. It's grey ...

The fonts are Type 3 fonts, bitmap fonts. If you continue using the default fonts, install the cm-super package, since I guess you use T1 font encoding, which is not supported by default, but cm-super brings T1 support. In the document no changes are needed then.

Or switch to a T1 supporting font, such as Latin Modern, which is very similar to the default Computer Modern font and has been developed to become the successor. For this, add in your document preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{lmodern}

Thank you for the tip.

Thank you Stefan_K. You solve my problem (and my friend). I thought it was because of some kind of file compression
