  Ahhh.... yes.  That UI option has the exact same effect as the LaTeX magic
mwl suggested.  Literally -- the resulting PDF files are byte-for-byte
identical.

  So, like, in general, the "Times" font will always look good?  Why does
LyX pick another default font if "Times" is better?  Who decided "Times"  
gets to look good?  Why don't the other fonts form a union and demand equal
rights?  I'm happy my problem is fixed, but this whole thing strikes me as
being rather magic.  :)

  I suppose obtaining true enlightenment would probably involve actually
*learning* about LaTeX/TeX/etc, which, while intellectually appealing, is
something I likely won't have time to do for the next lifetime or two...

  Thanks again, all.
