hello,
i hope this is not a stupid question:
i'm running a fresh debian-sarge installation (with kde 3.2.3). packages
installed are tetex-bin, tetex-base, tetex-extra, lyx,lyx-common lyx-qt.
i launched lyx and it opens this "welcome-screen". just for testing-purposes,
i tried to view this welcome-screen as dvi (through kdvi) but i get errors
like this:
"Font T1/cmr/bx/n/9=ecbx0900 at 9.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not
found
\begin{abstract}
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'."
this happens with any lyx-document (class: article, everything with
default-values)
however, as root, everything works fine.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
(1) removed and purged my whole tex-installation, reinstalled - nothing
(2) installed the latex-xft-package, rebuild the font-cache with fc-cache -fv
- nothing
(3) reconfigured tetex with dpkg-reconfigure
(4) removed my tex-installation again, removed every configuration-file,
reinstalled - nothing
(5) looked what "ecbx" actually is:
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecbx.mf

/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx2074.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx2488.tfm
(6) tried lyx with "-dbg font" option, which shows this in different
variations:
Font 'Schreibmaschine, Fett, Normal, Gro�, keine, Hervorgehoben Aus,
Unterstrichen Aus, Kapit�lchen Aus, Sprache: Deutsch' matched by
xft
The font has size: 18
This font is NOT an exact match
XFLD: xft
however - as root everything works fine... what is this? im messing around for
several hours and i'll jump out of the window soon... ;-)
regards tk
