Thanks, now I got it to work. I found this in one of your references:
----
In your home directory, make (or modify it if it already exists) a file
named .dvipsrc which must contain the lines:
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
Make sure that the LaTeX preamble of your LyX file (or the part before
\begin{document} if you are using straight LaTeX files) contains:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
This will guarantee that T1 encoded fonts come out looking good in the
final PDF.
----
And it worked for me, using dvips and ps2pdf:
latex myfile.tex
latex myfile.tex
dvips myfile.dvi
ps2pdf myfile.ps
(thought it could be good to have the solution in the mailing list
archive as well)
