Hi, I have a similar problem, though *not* after recompiling: I am running debian unstable with lyx 1.3.2 for weeks and only now (after some updates, including xfonts) I'm having trouble with math fonts - without any change of lyx version. Typing "\alpha" in math mode displays letters: "alpha" lyx -dbg font clearly shows that lyx doesn't find the math screen fonts: Looking for font family eufm10 ... FAILED :-( ... Months ago I had installed the latex-ttf-fonts and they were working very well all time. Now I also tried the latex-xft-fonts (see http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Qt ), but without success. And now the point is: If I run gnome2.2 as another (newly added) user, everything works fine, a 'lyx -dbg font' prints Looking for font family eufm10 ... got it ! ... Deleting ~/.lyx , I found that the problem is unrelated to ~/.lyx . There must be some (additional/missing?) parameters in the environment, or in the X configuration, or in the Gnome configuration, or whereever, which prevent lyx from loading the fonts. Getting lost, I also tried adding the ttf- and xft-fonts to the X11 font path (see http://osr5doc.ca.caldera.com:457/GECG/X_Font_ProcAddFn.html ), but without success. Can anybody tell me where lyx is searching these math fonts, or will I have to look into the sources? It seems to me that there has been some tacit (?) change in the organization of fonts recently. Thanks, Johannes
