[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#380714: lyx: helvetica font used in User Guide export can't find font against texlive distribution

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: minor

User Guide exports to pdflatex fine and upon not finding helvetica
attempts to substitute a suitable font in Acrobat 7 but fails to meet
this need. Saving the User Guide to my own directory and selecting a
different font package in the LaTeX Preamble makes the guide readable. I
omitted the following lines:
\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{%
\usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{courier} }

and replaced them with:
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{courier}

Results in a beautifully readable User Guide.

For some strange reason if I just remove the helvet reference it keeps
attempting with the \IfFileExists{lmodern.sty} declaration.
