I am not with you. When using itemize in LyX I get only small and

as in PS.

 There must be something screwed with the rights on your files. I would try 
 texconfig and set RW on /var/lib/texmf/fonts (there is a special command 
 for it in texconfig menus) and then check whether users are allowed to read 
 ls-lR files (one should be in the root of all of your $TEXMF trees; for my 
 RedHat these are in /usr/share/texmf/, /usr/local/share/texmf/, 
 /var/lib/texmf/ ). And of course, running texhash would not make any harm.

Thanks for your help, it is ok now for this point.
I need to get use with lyx-1.1.6 and Debian ;-)
