There was a post in May that was not replied to concerning the RedHat 9 RPM for 1.3.2 and a 'bad font path element' error generated by xset:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-users&m=105292758407099&w=2 A search of the list archives turn up nothing else that I can see. Has anyone determined a fix for this problem yet? Is anyone else using the 1.3.2 RPM on RedHat? Successfully? Whenever I enter math mode, I get the following message in my terminal: Adding /usr/share/lyx/xfonts/ to the font path. xset: bad font path element (#72), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax Unable to add font path. I don't know what to make of this, since /usr/share/lyx/xfonts exists, contains a bunch of links to fonts elsewhere for which I do in fact have read permission, there's a fonts.dir there, and my font server seems to be working properly otherwise. Finally, when I try to insert symbols in math mode, they show up as *different* symbols from the ones I'd expect to see. E.g., \rightarrow used to display for me under RH8, but now shows up as a square. -- J.
