Can you post a small example (LyX file plus DVI or PDF showing the 
spurious lines)?

That's what was weird.  It happened with the printed version, not the 
screen version.  I'm thinking it may have been an issue outside of LyX, 
unless LyX provides the default fonts used (which I know it doesn't).

The reason for using past tense is that I can no longer reproduce it.  
Having been concentrating on that one document for the time being, and 
then grading in the interim, I hadn't experienced anything new until 
your response... ;-)

Now it won't come up.  I've upgraded the system at least once, and know 
texlive was part of that, so I think it was a font issue within the 
package.  Hope so, at least.  For the moment, a non-problem.

I appreciate your response, though, Paul.  Thank you!
