Hi LyX users,

Can anyone reproduce this? All I have in my sample file is
\usepackage{bbding} in the preamble, and something like
\Checkmark{} or \FiveStar{} in the body of the file. These used
to come out to scale with the text, and now they are absolutely
enormous in the PDF. Doesn't seem to depend on whether non-TeX
fonts are used. I have LyX 2.3.3 on Linux Mint; I think at least
as recently as this past May (2.3.2?), bbding worked fine.

(I can produce a checkmark with \checkmark{} from the amsmath
package, so this isn't critical, just kind of weird.)

Do you consider the check mark and star in the attached PDF huge
or to scale? This was also done on Linux Mint using LyX 2.3.3.

Yeah those are not what I am seeing. Attached--

The good news first: you're not hallucinating. Those really are large icons.
The bad news: when I compile your file, I get normal size icons.

I cannot find any non-default settings in your document that could 
account for what you are seeing. Grasping at straws, you might try 
looking at the full LaTeX source (View > Code Preview Pane, then select 
"LaTeX (pdflatex)" and "Complete Source" in the preview pane. This is 
what I get:


% Preview source code

%% LyX 2.3.3 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.

%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

\usepackage[letterpaper]{geometry}

\geometry{verbose,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in,lmargin=1in,rmargin=1in}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{amssymb}

\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}

\makeatletter

%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{bbding}

\AtBeginDocument{

\def\labelitemiii{\(\circ\)}

}

\makeatother

\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}

text text \Checkmark{} text text \FiveStar{} text

\end{document}

Do you see any differences at your end? For that matter, are you using 
pdflatex? (I tried a few other routes to PDF output, and none of them 
gave me Brobdingnagian symbols.)

Last possibility: I'm using TeXLive 2018. What LaTeX system are you using?

bbding symbols are hyooge

Hi LyX users,

Can anyone reproduce this? All I have in my sample file is
\usepackage{bbding} in the preamble, and something like \Checkmark{} or
\FiveStar{} in the body of the file. These used to come out to scale with
the text, and now they are absolutely enormous in the PDF. Doesn't seem to
depend on whether non-TeX fonts are used. I have LyX 2.3.3 on Linux Mint; I
think at least as recently as this past May (2.3.2?), bbding worked fine.
