Hello All:
I've been trying to install font package bbding on LyX 1.4.4 running under
Windows XP.
Here's what I've done:
1) I made sure the package was already installed in MikTex. It was already
installed, so I didn't have to do anything there.
2) In Documents\Settings I inserted the line \usepackage{bbding} in the LaTeX
preamble, pressed Apply, pressed Save as Documents Defaults and exited the
window.
3) Under Tools, I selected Reconfigure.
4) I quit and restarted LyX.
5) I openend a blank document and, in equation mode, I typed x = \Asterisk
follwed by a space. I would have expected to see the bbding asterisk symbol
appear, but it did not.
To me, this means that LyX is not seeing the package.
I'm new to LyX and cannot find anything in the docs on this topic. I'd
appreciate any help from the group.
Mant thanks,
Ralph
First, \Asterisk (and, I believe, all the bbding symbols) are text mode
symbols. If you want it in a math inset, you will need to enter
\textrm{\Asterisk}.
Second, the fonts LyX uses for display in the GUI do not (and probably
cannot, in terms of practicality) cover glyphs from specialty font
packages. So even if you do the above, you won't see the symbol in the
GUI. You will see it in the output, though.
If you have instant preview on, you should see the asterisk in the GUI
after IP converts the math inset. I just tested this, and for some
reason I had to save the document, exit, then reopen it. The preview
DVI file in the temp directory had the asterisk, but what IP displayed
in the GUI initially had a space where it should have been. I'm not
sure why.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.
I tried exactly what you said and here's what I get on the GUI
x = textrmN
On DVI I get the same thing.
Does this make any sense?
Thanks,
Ralph
PS--Did you have to include \usepackage{bbding} is the preamble? Or did you
do anything at all? What I included in the preamble was:
\usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage{bbding}
