I'm completely new to LaTeX. I've downloaded LyX 1.6.8 which uses MiKTeX 2.9, so there is probably some markup which is not required. When I create a PDF from this a bitmap font of AMSFonts is used.

If I uncomment \usepackage{palatino} (EDIT like it is below) the font is smooth, so I guess this has to be the problem. According to the documentation of AMSFonts the type 1 font is included. It just seems it's not used.

Thanks for your time!

  • You don't use any AMS fonts in your sample. There aren't even any math environments. Please edit the code to include them, with the exact code causing you trouble. Anyway, when I tried your code, everything was Type 1, even if I added stuff from amsfonts.

  • i am amazed that the lyx/miktex combination you're using is giving you any bitmap fonts: sure, both computer modern and the amsfonts collection were originally implemented as bitmap fonts, but all modern distributions (including miktex 2.9) distribute outline versions of both. you ought to be able to use amsfonts as type 1, without any adjustment, but the same is true of the computer modern "default" fonts. perhaps lyx is doing something crazy -- not being a lyx user, it's hard (for me) to tell.

Ok, the problem was not amsfonts. LyX simply used the default TeX font, which is a bitmap font. If you have the same problem, you can go to http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF for a solution.

What I did was to add \usepackage{amsfonts} from the very beginning and when I saw that adding \usepackage{palatino} solved the problem I wrongly deduced that amsfonts was not working as I want it to. I thought it would alter the default language as it includes type 1 versions of Computer Modern Typefaces.

\usepackage{palatino}

This should be \usepackage{mathpazo}.

  • Well that changes the font, but I'd like to use the AMSFont, just as a type 1 font
