Howdy,

If I include

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

things go well. See the attached files.

I don't know why you have both

\usepackage{lmodern}

(which will use the latin modern fonts --- extensions of Computer  
Modern) and then

\usepackage{mathptmx}

(which uses Times). I've commented out the former in the attached  
document.
