It's been a long while since I have been David subscribed to these lists, since the development of LyX had David well outdistanced my skills. But now I find myself with a David problem I can't seem to solve. Hello David, Nice to hear from you again :) David My home machine, running a current image of debian-testing, has David a problem with some fonts being invisible under LyX. For David example, when I go to the File - Save As menu, the box with David the filename in it is blank. I can place the cursor at various David spots in the box, so the characters are there, they are just David invisible. I can type, and the changes show up on the filename David when I save, for example. Same thing in, say, the Layout - David Document - Margins. I can set the margins, but I cannot see David what I type. Xforms tends to do that when the box in which the text should go is not tall enough. We had a tightening of the dialogs in 1.3, and some people with unusual dpi settings see this problem. The person who knows about that and may be able to help is Rob Lahaye. David I tried fiddling with the background colors to no avail. It is not a problem of colors. The text is not there. Rob, do you think it is possible to improve the situation a bit? Do the fields mentioned by David have an unusual height? JMarc
