MWE:

\documentclass[english]{article} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % This seems to be the problem
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}

If the fontec line is not commented out I get:

enter image description here

If I comment it out I get:

enter image description here

I need to use that package for the reasons given in this Q&A.

How can I get the quality of the second version while using the fontec package?

I am using TeXworks, but a colleague with LyX has the same results.

    you don't have the scalable ec fonts installed which is odd but perhaps you can just do \usepackage{lmodern} and avoid the issue. – David Carlisle Apr 28 '17 at 14:10
  • @DavidCarlisle that indeed fixes it. would you like to write an answer? eventually adding a small how-to install (for noobs/dummies) the ec fonts? – Federico Apr 28 '17 at 14:12
  • If you want the scalable ec fonts, install cm-super. – Bernard Apr 28 '17 at 14:19
  • @Bernard and how do I do that? the FAQ of the cm-super CTAN does not help much (and the readme is unavailable) – Federico Apr 28 '17 at 14:22
  • Which distribution do you have? – Bernard Apr 28 '17 at 14:24

    @Bernard ah, I think I understood. I am installing it through MiKTeX (I hope). thanks – Federico Apr 28 '17 at 14:25
  • Yes, it's not in the basic distribution. Insyall it via MiKTeX Package Manager, and probably run from the command line (as administrator) updmap --verbose. – Bernard Apr 28 '17 at 14:27
