Well, I have mathdesign installed.
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/mathdesign/

Apparently it provides:

Which is clearly present on my system. But this seems to deal only

For the text part, as per the CTAN docs you also need to install:
CTAN directory of URW Garamond : nonfree/fonts/urw/garamond

But this one is certainly not present on my system.


 It looks to me like a font detection bug in LyX...

 Yes, maybe.

Can LyX determine if the URW Garamond font is present by checking for
this non free font? And then correctly display installed/not installed
status?

 Yes, it can do that. Actually, we already check that (we check if ugmr8r.tfm
 is present), but we do not use this information yet.

 Please file a bug on trac. I do not have much time during the next weeks
 (months?) probably (but it will be trivial to implement this). This also needs

The *.tfm file may be misleading: for some non-free fonts, the *.tfm files
are installed by the tex-support package together with *.fd and *.sty.
However the actual font files (*pfa or similar) are not included but must be
installed separately.

Most fonts are contained in one package together with a supporting *.sty

Exceptions are the non-free fonts. We should check the getnonfreefonts

Hi,

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and Lyx 2.1.3 installed from the PPA and I can confirm
the problem using your Vinh's file. See the attachements. While Palatino
and Times Roman work perfectly, Garamond is rendered as Computer Modern. I
am pretty sure Garamond is installed, as I have recently reinstalled this
computer.

 Are you sure the garamondx package _and_ all necessary fonts are really
 installed?

But that's kind of the point. The package garamondx is NOT installed,

 Since these fonts are non-free, they are not included in TeXLive,
 but must be manually downloaded via the getnonfreefonts script (which is part
 of TeXLive). See http://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/

Works here.

Are you sure the garamondx package _and_ all necessary fonts are really 
installed? Since these fonts are non-free, they are not included in TeXLive, 
but must be manually downloaded via the getnonfreefonts script (which is part 
of TeXLive). See http://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/

But that's kind of the point. The package garamondx is NOT installed,
and the non-free fonts are NOT installed:
geek@liv-inspiron:~$ getnonfreefonts -l
[...]
garamond GaramondNo8 (URW) [not installed]
garamondx GaramondNo8 Expert (Michael Sharpe) [not installed]


Yet LyX presents the font as installed (i.e. there is no '(not
installed)' tag), as attached.

It looks to me like a font detection bug in LyX...

Does it really attempt to load garamondx, or rather
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ugm}

This is the fallback garamond font.

Yes, maybe.

From the error message, I assume that you

However, the Times font that comes with TeX does not include Greek letters

You can

which version of Lyx do you have 1.3.4 or 1.3.3?
I believe, it happens only for LyX Aqua 1.3.4
-Jan
I have LyX Aqua 1.3.4, installed from Ronald Florence's binary.
I'd be glad to check any other details of my installation, just let me 
know.
I previously had trouble with \ge (greater than or equal to) or maybe 
it was \le. It showed up as a center dot until the instant preview 
took effect. That problem disappeared at some LyX Aqua upgrade, but I 
don't remember which one.

I've managed to fix the problem I had with display fonts and LyX-Mac.
I have the CM-Super fonts installed via Gerben Wierda's i-Installer. I 
used i-Installer to reconfigure these fonts. Then quitting and 
restarting LyX results in symbols being displayed properly within Math 
environments.

Now that my fonts are working properly again, I can't test further. But 
all the i-Installer configure script seems to do is run updmap (as 
root). Try running that (without i-Installer) to see if that works.

Steve,
which version of Lyx do you have 1.3.4 or 1.3.3?
I believe, it happens only for LyX Aqua 1.3.4
-Jan
I have LyX Aqua 1.3.4, installed from Ronald Florence's binary.
I'd be glad to check any other details of my installation, just let me 
know.
I previously had trouble with \ge (greater than or equal to) or maybe 
it was \le. It showed up as a center dot until the instant preview 
took effect. That problem disappeared at some LyX Aqua upgrade, but I 
don't remember which one.

I've managed to fix the problem I had with display fonts and LyX-Mac.
I have the CM-Super fonts installed via Gerben Wierda's i-Installer. I 
used i-Installer to reconfigure these fonts. Then quitting and 
restarting LyX results in symbols being displayed properly within Math 
environments.

Now that my fonts are working properly again, I can't test further. But 
all the i-Installer configure script seems to do is run updmap (as 
root). Try running that (without i-Installer) to see if that works.

Things are actually a bit more complicated than this. LaTeX XFT-fonts 
are installed by default in LyX/Mac in the LyX/Mac bundle, but for some 
reason these fonts are not being recognized. When I reconfigure LyX, I 
get the following output in console:

removing xfonts/fonts.dir, which is identical to the system global

removing font links

In my teTeX installation, I have duplicate versions of all these fonts

tfm: TeX font metric file. TeX reads .tfm files to find out how big letters
are. (TeX doesn't actually know anything about fonts.) Some other program,
like a driver, reads PK, Type1, TrueType etc to actually render the
letters.

You might find this useful for general info: http://tinyurl.com/4hl6g

pfb: Typically, a UNIX Type1 font is distributed as an afm (adobe font
metric) file, and an outline file, which is usually a pfb (printer font
binary) or pfa (printer font ascii) file. The outline file contains all
the glyphs, while the metric file contains the metrics. On Win32 afm files
are often replaced by pfm files.

Hi Bennet!

I am not sure what is causing the problem. Installed LyX for
a completely new user and it did not help - same problem.
Interestingly, tough it happens ONLY for selected characters.
It is like if it was just missing exactly one or two fonts but not
more. I am quite confused here as not even hacking
around like e.g., replace the xfonts dir by a backupped one etc helps...

I heard you took over from Ron for version 1.4.0, is that right?
I would love to be a LyX tester for you whenever you need people to

 \sigma   by   1/4(as a character)
 \theta by   \mue (as a character)
 \alphaby   (R)as a character

 Does anybody know how to fix that?

Jan,

  I'm not sure that I understand your problem. If you are seeing a character
different from what you expect to see then the problem is one of the font
encoding. Your document might specify that all fonts are encoded OT1 when
they're actually T1. That will put different glyphs at certain positions in
the font glyph table and result in what I think you write that you see.

HTH,

Rich

Re: Font problem

Rich,

I believe your comment refers to the Latex fonts, right?
My problem is actually a problem with the on-screen fonts only - after
compiling it looks nice; already in the instant-preview!

Only on screen it will always replace my greek characters - and
changing the screen fonts does not help!
Where are the maths fonts selected?

Re: font problem in windows xp (Solved)

Thanks, I opened the control panel, fonts and copied in this way the 
fonts and they were installed automatically.  This is extrange, since in 
Windows 95 you need only to copy and in XP you need to do this.  Well, 
thanks again.

Having said that, has klyx somewhere a toggle Use scalable screen fonts
