I installed teTeX-3.0 some time after building LyX-1.3.5 (Qt). I had
been running teTeX-1.0.7. The Latin Modern fonts are installed as
part of the teTeX-3.0 installation, and I can use them in the normal
text of a LyX document via the FAQ instructions \usepackage{lmodern}.
However, the dropped capital package requires fonts specified with
their nicknames "ptmr", "yfrak", "ecrm1000" etc. and when I try
using "lmr" or "lmr10" I get LaTeX errors about missing TFM files.
My guess here is that lmr and lmr10 are getting used in an unsupported
encoding.
ptmr == the knock-off of Times bundled w/ GhostScript
yfrak == nifty fraktur font (you should be able to install this from
CTAN or your LaTeX setup front-end if available)
The TFM files seemed to get built automatically as needed for the ec
fonts, so I'd think the same would happen for the lm family, but
so far, they're not.
Do I need to build TFM files manually, or is there something else
I need to tell LyX? Do I need to add entries in the LyX configure
script that makes symlinks in .../lyx/xfonts for various .pfb files?
Something else?
I thought I better ask here before charging off on a bunch of
blind alleys.
I think if you set it up so that the font is called out in a supported
encoding you'll be fine. Don't use lmr10 though, if you're not setting
a 10pt. dropped capital, instead pick a larger optical size so it'll
look nicer.

working up his paper for TUG2003....)
