Fonts antialiasing (RGB vs. grayscale)

[Dmitry Zotikov]

Hello,

I've been using LyX on Ubuntu 11.xx for quite a while (I believe that
was version 2.0.2 or 2.0.3) and used to have fonts rendered like this:
http://s22.postimg.org/ql77qjb0x/Screenshot_Ly_X_doc_Intro_lyx_read_only.png

Recently I've migrated to Ubuntu 13.04 which has LyX version 2.0.3, but
apparently uses a different version of QT.  Fonts are rendered
differently as well:
http://s10.postimg.org/t47iudqzd/Screenshot_from_2013_08_03_18_20_38.png

Is it possible to make the fonts rendered as they were before?

AFAIU, the difference is that in the first case it was RGB antialiasing,
while in the second it's grayscale.  I thought that might have been a
QT's problem, but in other QT apps the fonts are perfectly fine (and in
the LyX's windows other than the main editing area).

Hello:

This occurs if you use natbib and set citation style to author-year but the 
bst-style file
you specified supports only numeric citations. Either you should set citation 
style to
numeric or choose another bst file which supports author-year citations.

Re: Font problem in MikTeX 2.9

Two things come to mind. First, open a DOS window and run the command

kpsewhich ecsi.mf

It should tell you where the ecsi font source code is installed (probably in
the jknappen package). If you get a blank line as the response, you need to
install a package containing the font.

If the font is installed, try opening the MiKTeX settings application and
clicking the update formats button. I vaguely recall one or two occasions
where installation or update of packages through the package manager somehow
bollixed the formats, leading to font errors (on installed fonts); updating
formats seemed to fix it.

Hi Dmitry,

I don't know if it will fix this problem, but you might want to see if
it's solved in LyX 2.0.6. Since you're on Ubuntu, it's very easy to
use the newest stable version of LyX without having to give up your
current version. They can be both installed with no risk. To do this,
see the instructions here:

AFAIU, the difference is that in the first case it was RGB antialiasing,
while in the second it's "grayscale".  I thought that might have been a
QT's problem, but in other QT apps the fonts are perfectly fine (and in
