I had installed the TexLive testing version and it processed many
documents correctly, but I uninstalled it after several LyX documents
failed.
Can you tell me what you mean about avoiding "cm"? How? What do you
mean? What is super-cm? I've sometimes inserted this in the preamble
because it is supposed to avoid the "bad fonts in pdf output"
\usepackage{lmodern}
But this did not change the weird output I was getting from TexLive.
