Thanks. I think I have narrowed down the problem to "Default output set
to " with "PDF (XeTeX)" in
Document > Settings... > Formats.
Can you confirm that the problem goes away if you use the "Default"
output format? (To force LyX to regenerate the preview you can just save
the file under a new name after you made the change.)

Here is my "template_test.lyx" file, which contains displayed math with \text{} containing letter
"ø". This letter is not displayed wieh I have enabled "instant preview". It does show up
when preview in LyX is turned off. In any way, it shows up in the generated PDF file.
Still, it annoys me that it doesn't show up when I turn on "instant preview".
Any clues? I use the latest version of Windows 10 (v 1803) 64 bit, LyX 2.3.1 64
bit, version from September 2018 (?).
Suggestions are appreciated.

Hm... I opened a new document of the template, and in this new template, the
preview works. But it does not work in another document from the same template,
where I'm in the process of inserting text from an OCR scanned paper copy of a
document I wrote 30 years ago... (using Adobe Acrobat for OCR).
This is weird. Maybe some junk from the imported, scanned document? I'll test
some more.
You can also try whether making a copy of your problem document and opening the
copy makes a difference. As far as I remember this should force LyX to
regenerate the preview.

OK -- in your LyX file, Instant preview works ok. Two questions:
* Could it depend on which *style* I use?
So what style are you using? Can you send a (somewhat) minimal document where
the problem occurs?
* My LyX version is:
LyX Version 2.3.1-1

That is the latest version and the same I am using.
(There might have been a misunderstanding. I thought you menat your
Windows version by "latest version" but I guess you did mean LyX. The
information I sent was on the Windows version I am using.)

I use LyX 2.3.1 (64bit) on 64bit Win 10, latest version, and have Instant

I need to insert some text in an equation. Two options:
* \text{my text}
* \mathrm{text}
With \text{}, space is automatically handled. With \mathrm{}, I need to use the
escape character (backslash) to get space. There are probably also some spacing
differences -- I assume \text{} is the correct choice if I write text and not
math.
There is a problem with \text{} if I use Instant preview *on*...: if I include character
"ø" in the text string, it shows if I turn Instant preview *off*, but is
removed if I turn Instant preview *off*.
The generated PDF file *includes* the symbol "ø", but ... it does not show up
in the preview with Instant preview turned *on*.
Presumably, this is a problem with other non-English ASCII characters, too?
-B
I cannot reproduce the problem. The ø in the attached file shows with instant
preview turned on.
This is on Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 17134.345. ("latest version"
is a bit ambigous since there are different update tracks and the
recently pulled "October 2018 Update".)
