Strange. If you look at the code around line 222 in lyxpreview2ppm.py, 
you'll see that fontsize is initialised to a non-zero value. Does your 
logfile contain any lines that start "Preview: Fontsize" and are any of 
them zero sized? I take it that you have installed the LaTeX preview.sty 
file as described on the wiki page?

Angus,
Thanks for the pointer to preview.sty.  I have obtained the 
preview-latex.tar file but am not clear as to where it should be installed.

Regarding lyxpreview2ppm.py, the relevant code, from lines 191 to 196 
would appear to be:

       found_fontsize = 0
       found_magnification = 0
       # Default values
       magnification = 1000.0
       fontsize = 0.0
The word Fontsize doesn't appear in the log file.
Thanks again,
Colin W.
