Dear LyX users, Could some one help me get math symbols displayed in lyx?
I'm running lyx 1.3.2 under knoppix 3.3, i.e., debian testing/unstable, installed on hard drive. I have latex true type fonts installed. I can see them with xfontsel. Within lyx I can even select latex fonts (e.g., cmsy10) as my screen font (Preferences -> Screen fonts -> Roman) and they are displayed properly when I type normal text, but the math editor refuses to use them. When running lyx as a normal user for the first time lyx finds the pfb fonts under /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/ and creates ~/.lyx/xfonts with symlinks to these fonts in it as well as fonts.dir and . Then lyx -dbg 512 gives: Adding /home/shomolya/.lyx/xfonts/ to the font path. Looking for font family eufm10 ... FAILED :-( with similar messages for the other latex fonts, and all I get is ERT for math symbols. Weird thing is that when running lyx as root the math editor does at least use the pfb fonts. I tried the suggestions on lyx-wiki (except the one about upgrading to lyx-1.3.3, because it's not feasible over my slow modem connection). I also tried different qt & fontconfig settings, generating new fonts.dir with different encodings, but nothing seems to make any difference. Any help would be much appreciated, Steve -- Steven Homolya School of Physics and Materials Engineering Monash University, VIC 3800 Australia Tel: +61 3 9905 3694 Fax: +61 3 9905 3637
