>From INSTALL: * Qt frontend Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the latex-ttf-fonts package, to be found on ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ to get maths symbols displayed properly. To find out, type: ldd `which lyx` | grep fontconfig at the console. Both RH8 and Debian unstable distributions are known to use fontconfig. If, however, your version of Qt does not use fontconfig, then the /usr/local/share/lyx/xfonts directory (or equivalent) should be added to the font path. This is done automatically by LyX if LyX is run on the local machine, and the X server supports Postscript fonts. If, however, you're running LyX remotely, then you'll have to do this step yourself. 'man xset' is your friend. -- Angus
