I can reproduce that. The cmsy10 font (from Bakoma4LyX) has the spade
glyph (character 00C4). Is LyX mapping \spadesuit to the wrong
character?
From lib/symbols:
spadesuit cmsy 127 170 mathord x
127 is the position in the font. 4C would be 76, does it work if you
exchange the 127 with 76? If yes, the questions whether the bakoma fonts
are wrong or LyX.
Character 127 (7F hex) in cmsy10 appears to be a three-sided box (top
missing, like a squared-off U). This is not the glyph that LyX displays
for \spadesuit (LyX displays a complete square). The glyph that LyX
displays for \spadesuit does not appear to be in cmsy10, although I
can't be sure -- Windows's character map applet does not display all the
characters in a font, just selected ones.
Well, now I'm even more confused <sigh>.
