Looks like a TeX problem (or at least that the order matters in TeX).
Both look the same in LyX, but not in the pdf.
This is a TeX feature: in contrast to the text font-switching commands,
font commands in math mode (like \mathrm, \mathit, \mathbf, and also
\mathcal) do not change one aspekt of the font, but select a math
alphabet based on defaults of the math version (\boldmath, \sansmath,
...) set outside the math mode.

font commands in math mode (like \mathrm, \mathit, \mathbf, and also
\mathcal) do not change one aspekt of the font, but select a "math
alphabet" based on defaults of the "math version" (\boldmath, \sansmath,
...) set outside the math mode.

Viewing Bold Calligraphy characters in pdf
I am using LyX 2.04. I inserted a bold calligraphy 'J' as an inline equation,
and it looked fine. [The sourece code is $\mathcal{\boldsymbol{J}}$]
However, when I viewed the file in pdf format, what appeared was a bold
italic 'J' in the default font. In contrast, normal (not bold)
calligraphy 'J' displays properly in pdf. To attempt to fix this problem, I
used the MiKTeX Package Manager to install the Calligra package, used MiKTeX
Options to update formats and refresh FNDB, and finally reconfigured and
restarted LyX. Nothing changed. Perhaps I need to install a different font
package. Any advice would be appreciate.
