Hello, I am running Lyx 1.4.1 on Windows. The math symbols and greek letters
seem to be
all topsy turvy. e.g. I select phi from the math panel and I get a mu, or
I select Sigma and I get a (C) symbol. etc. Obviously my fonts are messed up
but how do i fix this? I see nothing unusual in the Preferences
thanks
1. If there is a folder named 'fonts' under the LyX installation
directory, delete it. LyX start installing its own fonts as of version
1.4.1 or 1.4.2 -- can't remember which -- and for some reason the fonts
it installs seem to be munged.
2. Download the Bakoma4LyX package from
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX-1.1.zip. Unzip it in some
temporary directory.
3. Crank up the Windows Font applet (from the Control Panel) and delete
those fonts whose names match the ones you unzipped in the temporary
directory. (I think there are seven of them.)
4. Point the Font applet to the temporary directory and install all the
fonts there. Once this is done, you can delete the temporary directory.
I recommend keeping the zip file around, though, in case LyX figures
out a way to reinstall its own fonts.
5. Start LyX and see if things are better.
