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.
