 Thanks for your help.

 I think that the indication that the Bera fonts are not installed is just a
 symptom of a deeper problem; I appear to have lost all font control. No
 matter what fonts I choose, I get a pdf that has the default LaTeX fonts.
 Something is badly screwed up in my TeX installation; I'm going to get rid
 of it and start over.

 Your comments were still useful; I learned several things about trouble
 shooting my installation.

Well, there is nothing wrong with my TeX installation. I've been using
TeXShop to work directly in LaTeX and also to typeset LyX documents that I
have exported to LaTeX. All the fonts and utilities are available that are
supposed to be.

There were two things wrong with my LyX 1.6.5 installation, both easy to
correct once I understood what was going on.

Somehow these lines got into the preamble I've been using:

% set fonts for nicer pdf view

\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{}

\fi % end if pdflatex is used


When I used pdflatex to typeset a document, these lines were substituting
Latin Modern for any fonts I was choosing in Lyx.


The second problem is that LyX was showing the Bera fonts as 'not
installed', even though they are and I can use them to typeset a document
(once I had figured out and corrected the first problem). For some reason,
LyX is not adding the correct information to the packages.lst file (which on
OS X is in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/), even though the
configure.log file shows that the reconfigure procedure is correctly seeing
that the Bera fonts are installed and available. So I just added a line with
the word 'bera' to the packages.lst file and the 'not installed' message
went away.

LyX 1.6.5 claims Bera fonts not installed

[Richard Talley]

I had been running LyX 1.6.3 with MacTeX 2008 under OS X 10.5.x and created
a number of documents using the three Bera fonts.

Recently, I downloaded, installed and updated MacTeX 2009. I also grabbed
the MacTeXtras; it came with LyX 1.6.5 so I installed that also.

Now LyX doesn't see that the Bera fonts are available (they show as 'not
installed' in Documents - Settings - Fonts). If I switch back to MacTeX
2008 (which I have not uninstalled but would like too) and reconfigure LyX,
these fonts still show as not installed.

MacTeX 2008 and 2009 most definitely do come with the Bera fonts installed;
all the correct files appear to be there.

I really need to convince LyX 1.6.5 that these fonts are indeed installed
and available, as I need to re-edit some documents and have them print using
the same standards that I was already using for this series of documents.
(And yes, I did re-run 'sudo texhash', just in case, and ran the
LyX-installer that comes on the LyX-1.6.5-Mac-Universal.dmg.)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't yet downgraded to LyX 1.6.3;
I guess that might be my next step in troubleshooting.

Thanks,

Have you tried reconfiguring LyX? (LyX  Reconfigure) I have MacTeX

Thanks for your help.

I think that the indication that the Bera fonts are not installed is just a
symptom of a deeper problem; I appear to have lost all font control. No
matter what fonts I choose, I get a pdf that has the default LaTeX fonts.
Something is badly screwed up in my TeX installation; I'm going to get rid
of it and start over.

Your comments were still useful; I learned several things about trouble
shooting my installation.

LyX 1.6.5 claims Bera fonts not installed

[Richard Talley]

I had been running LyX 1.6.3 with MacTeX 2008 under OS X 10.5.x and created
a number of documents using the three Bera fonts.

Recently, I downloaded, installed and updated MacTeX 2009. I also grabbed
the MacTeXtras; it came with LyX 1.6.5 so I installed that also.

Now LyX doesn't see that the Bera fonts are available (they show as 'not
installed' in Documents -> Settings -> Fonts). If I switch back to MacTeX
2008 (which I have not uninstalled but would like too) and reconfigure LyX,
these fonts still show as not installed.

MacTeX 2008 and 2009 most definitely do come with the Bera fonts installed;
all the correct files appear to be there.

I really need to convince LyX 1.6.5 that these fonts are indeed installed
and available, as I need to re-edit some documents and have them print using
the same standards that I was already using for this series of documents.
(And yes, I did re-run 'sudo texhash', just in case, and ran the
LyX-installer that comes on the LyX-1.6.5-Mac-Universal.dmg.)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't yet downgraded to LyX 1.6.3;
I guess that might be my next step in troubleshooting.

Thanks,
