Wonder of wonders!!! It is working perfectly now. I don't know what
happened but now it works perfectly. But once I Reconfigure, it goes back
to the same problem. It did the following to get to heart of the manner:
$ su
Password:
# bash
# rm -rf ~/.lyx/ /usr/local/share/lyx/xfonts
# ^C
$ lyx newfile1.lyx
-- newfile1.lyx contains the symbol \alpha
The above procedure doesn't give me alpha on screen.
It just outputs the symbol Fi or something similar
Then I do:
$ rm -rf .lyx/xfonts
$ lyx newfile1.lyx
-- doesn't give alpha but another symbol, something like
--
|R |
--
After this, I restart xserver by logging out. Then:
$ lyx newfile1.lyx
This gives me the required symbol, alpha.
Now, I do, Edit->Reconfigure and close lyx. Then:
$ lyx newfile1.lyx
This gives me back my Fi. So I think the links in xfonts that were
created during the Reconfigure process was affecting the rendering, both
in ~/.lyx/xfonts and <LYXDIR>/xfonts. Only if both are absent, I am able
to obtain the correct rendering.
