I see the same problem on Ubuntu 8.04 with LyX 1.5.5. on screen appearance of \cdot and \times is the same, "x". Also, screen translation of \succ fails, and just shows "succ". Ubuntu supplies texlive 2007 What do you think might be wrong with the font installation? I was a Fedora user until now, and the mathml package was installed with lyx and it seemed to take care of things like this. I could use a little Ubuntu/Debian related help. Which font is lyx looking for? pj -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas
