Yes. It uses type 3 fonts if "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" is present in
the output file. Removing the line causes type 1 fonts to be used.

I'm not sure if the tetex and texlive people intentionally broke
compatibility (and lyx needs to change), if this is a bug on their end,
or if something funny has happened to my machine.

This copy of ubuntu is only a week or so old. I've tried removing and
reinstalling a few different sets of latex packages. All of them have
had the same behavior.

Thanks!
