Just a note that might help some people: Current cygwin versions install into /usr/local, so you may need to reference /usr/local/share/lyx/fonts instead of /usr/share/lyx/fonts in the instructions above. Just check to see what directories you have. > > > (btw, I see that 1.4.4 is still the current available version) There is a lyx-1.5.2-cygwin.tar.gz at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.2, (and comparable versions for 1.5.0, 1.5.1 and 1.4.5.1). These have all worked fine for me, including showing math fonts. [A personal view: if you are already using cygwin, or if you are familiar with Unix/Linux, you should seriously consider using the cygwin version of LyX if you need a windows version.] ....dave case
