Hi,


I use lyx 1.1.5fix2 to produce a TeX file and get an error about
missing font files (since the upgrade).

Any hints?

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)
(entschuldigung3.tex[/var/lib/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg]

i don't recall when pdftex gained the ability to use type 3 fonts, but
it looks as if it was after 0.13d

the ec fonts aren't issued in type 1 format (other than by micropress,
as a commercial product). thus you need to use type 3 if you really
want to use the fonts. the downside of so doing is that the resulting
pdf looks horrible on screen (because adobe don't do anti-aliasing in
acrobat reader).

you may care to investigate using some other font family in your
document: there are passable (though not completely conforming)
implementations of the ec encoding that use adobe times and the like.

Robin,

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't understand anything what you
are saying :-)-O.

Anyway, I'll get in touch with the lyx people next :-)-O

* to have these fonts embedded as bitmaps (no good for screen reading,
but
fine unchanged print):
a) tell lyx to generate dvi-file
b) view the dvi-file, which will generate the missing bitmap fonts
on the fly
c) re-generate the pdf-file

* to use some bitmapped font, which may change the layout *very
slightly*
a) ask lyx to add to the preamble
\usepackage{ae}
b) re-generate the pdf-file

Karsten,

The first alternative didn't work, but the second did.

Dankeschön.

[...]

In addition to what Karsten suggested, consider using

\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{aecompl}

since the AE fonts are almost european, but not quite. For an
alternative you might consider the ZE fonts. You can get them
from

ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/zefonts.tar.gz

and then go:

\usepackage{zefonts}
