Thousands of students and researchers us latex and fonts from the
American Mathematical Society. There are some instructions on line that
I suppose are adequate for MS windows users, but I could not find
detailed instructions for Linux. I pieced together the steps followed
below that ultimately did not work:
Okay, I'm trying to make lyx work with fonts from the American
Mathematical Society, amsfonts. I installed them on my Debian Linux
laptop with su, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and apt-get install
texlive-all. Here is where they went:
root@Alpha:/home/pcr1# find / -name amsfonts
/usr/share/doc/texlive-base/fonts/amsfonts
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/fonts/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/plain/amsfonts
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts
root@Alpha:/home/pcr1#
Then I went into Lyx and opened a new document. Next I opened
Document,Settings,Latex Preamble, and typed \usepackage{amsfonts} on the
blank screen that opened, and clicked on Save as Document Defaults,
before closing the Settings dialog.
Then I went to Tools, Reconfigure. When it finished I looked in the
~/.lyx directory and edited packages.lst and searched for amsfonts,
sadly without success.
So the question is, What did I do wrong? and why is this so hard!
