Hi Marc,
you really should avoid TOFU. Thanks.

Acrobat attempts to substitute for a suitable font.
It really shouldn't have to. All files created by pdftex *should*
include any used font inside the pdf, be it the lmodern font family or
those standard postscript fonts. You can controll it with the pdffonts
command, it should output something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ pdffonts testlmodern.pdf
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
ETWFKE+LMRoman10-Regular Type 1 yes yes no 6 0
DUJNAJ+LMSans10-Regular Type 1 yes yes no 9 0
CILUZO+LMTypewriter10-Regular Type 1 yes yes no 12 0
for a file with the lmodern fonts in use and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ pdffonts testpsfonts.pdf
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
PDEAGN+NimbusRomNo9L-Regu Type 1 yes yes no 6 0
JVYZPK+NimbusSanL-Regu Type 1 yes yes no 9 0
YPCUAQ+NimbusMonL-Regu Type 1 yes yes no 12 0
with the Nimbus-Copies of the standard Postscript fonts bundled with TeX.
For testing you can use the following LaTeX code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{%
\usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{courier} }
\begin{document}
\noindent
\textrm{Roman font}\\
\textsf{Sansserif font}\\
\texttt{Typewriter font}
\end{document}
put it in testfont.tex and run 'pdflatex testfont'. The outout should
end with
...
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lm/lmodern.sty) (./testfont1.aux)
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lm/t1lmr.fd)

The issue is with this code:
% set fonts for nicer pdf view
\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{%
\usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet} \usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{courier} }
The code is perfectly fine.
TexLive puts lmodern.sty under /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lm
Yes, that means \IfFileExists{lmodern.sty} will find it and only
\usepackage{lmodern} will be executed, not the other \usepackage's.
Tetex-base puts lmodern.sty under the same pathway. You can rule out
it being an improperly installed tex distribution or you can deduce
both the tetex and texlive distributions from Debian are broken
against what LyX expects to find lmodern.sty.
Sorry again, the place is fine. What happens afterwards seems to be broken.
Interestingly, if I remove the
\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{%}
and leave:
\usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{mathptmx} \usepackage{courier}
That means that first lmodern is loaded for roman, sansserif, typewriter
and math fonts and afterwars all these settings are overwritten to use
Times for Roman and math, Helvetica for Sansserif and Courier for
Typewriter. So nothing regarding lmodern is left and the lmodern bug is
not triggered.
the User Guide export to pdf via pdflatex works flawlessly. The
offending area is the code for \IfFileExists.
Sorry no, your lmodern-Installation is broken (which isn't too unlikely,
there have been some problems with it in the past). Please file a bug
against the lmodern package. With lyx everything is fine. (But thanks
alot for investigating this issue so deeply, opensource software lives
from participation!)
Yours,
Karsten
