math seems bold

Post by jgthb »

Hi

When I compile lyx documents on my mom's computer the math seems kind of bold, although if I compile on my own computer it seems normal.

I have uploaded the pdf and the lyx document. As seen it is not exactly bold, but it is darker than normal. It is most easy to see if you zoom out

Can anyone help?

Hmm... It seems like computer modern roman is used as the default font, but by changing it to latin modern roman it looks fine now.

I am not home right now, so can not check what the settings are on my own computer, but I guess the default font is set to latin modern roman there, although I can not find out how the default font in LyX is actually changed... so it seems kind of weird all of it.

Well, at least I find out what to do about it.

Edit: Just to be clear. I have compiled the same lyx document on both computers, where the font was chosen to be default, so the difference must be in what Lyx understand as the default font on the two computers.
