I think that the bold helvetica font that LyX is trying to use for
menus is broken. You might try to run 'lyx -debug 5' to see xforms
debug messages (and see which font it is trying to obtain).
If you did not make too many changes, the font should be:
-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
It seems that the X server reports that the font exists (because it is
on font.dir), but it is unable to render it then (this is in any case
what happens on some linux systems where utopia is not correctly
installed).
Hope this helps.
