Hello,
I had trouble with LyX 1.3.0 with Qt frontend having problems with the math
mode fonts displaying garbage. However, after reading the INSTALL file and
installing the latex-ttf-fonts-0.1.tar.gz (and rebooting X) I got everything
working.
Now, here's a suggestion: this process involving the latex-ttf-fonts-0.1.tar.gz
procedure could be mentioned in a more visible place, maybe in the LyX FAQ. I
assume that's the first place people will look for help.
Basically the procedure went like:
1. Fetch the latex-ttf-fonts-0.1.tar.gz from ftp.lyx.org/pub/contrib
2. Install the package (make install as root)
3. Reboot X (I did run mkttfdir in the /usr/share/fonts/latex-ttf-fonts
directory but it didn't seem to do anything)
4. Behold! Math mode fonts work.
I spent two days laughing of joy for anti-aliased fonts in Qt LyX and at the
same time crying because the math mode font was "broken". But now it works like
a charm. The editor I so dearly love got more than twice better!
Thank you all very much.
Regards,
Jani Nurminen
