i'm not sure what you mean by whether my preferences are set
correctly? i have instant preview on and this setting is saved so
that every time i open up a new document, i can go into LyX >
Preferences... > Look and Feel > Graphics and see Instant Preview:
On. still, there is no change in the math font when i enter a
formula so instant preview isn't working.
oddly, however, nothing related to instant preview appears in the
~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4/preferences file. but i'm
not sure this matters.
any other suggestions?
Try looking at the output in Console.app just after you create a
new equation (and move the cursor out of it so that LyX tries to
generate the preview). Does that tell you anything?

The Console.app information was helpful.

My current version of FreeType is 2.2.1. I installed version 2.3.4,
which is the latest stable release. Now the error message in the
console has gone away when I use instant preview and instant preview
tries to render the math fonts. However, the rendering for some
characters is wrong. For example, if I type, x = 1, then instant
preview displays x / 1. If I type, a + b, then instant preview
displays a -/ b. The console shows:
dvipng warning: at (0,-1) ignored header \special{!/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

end}.
but I'm not sure how to interpret these warnings. Any other suggestions?
