Hi Steve,

Steve Johnson figured this one out. Here's what to do to fix this.

	1. Open up LyX. Click on Edit -> Preferences.

	2. In the left column of the dialog box, click on the + sign
	   next to Outputs to expand this category.

	3. Select LaTeX, then in the right side of the dialog box
	   at the top change the TeX encoding to OT1; that's a capital
	   letter "Oh" at the beginning, not a zero; and a one at the end.

	4. Click on the Save button at the bottom of the dialog box.

Henceforth, the PDF output will be crisp! - Art
