Thanks Pavel (and Doc - last email), Nothing I do seems to make the screen larger (or smaller) while on the screen-fonts page in Preferences. I will try again upon receiving further (and more specific) instructions.

Oh gosh, yes, how on earth could it be that someone has good reasons for doing something that you haven't thought of? :-) In fact, however, I mentioned one of the main reasons in my original email, viz., that LyX runs so well under Linux, better in fact than it does under MacOS, at the moment anyway. Here are two specifics for you: 1. LyX 2.3.1 for MacOS currently suffers from a very annoying bug that prevents boldface fonts from rendering inside the app. So any use of bold — in a heading, subheading, etc or for emphasis or for use in mathmode doesn't show up, often forcing one often to check whether one has actually formatted the text in question as bold or not. (The formatting does show up correctly in LyX-generated PDFs.) 2. LyX is lightning fast under Linux, even in a VM, much faster than the MacOS version on my 2014 iMac. Documents simply compile and display more quickly. But a particularly dramatic case of this is forward search. For some reason, in LyX 2.3.1 for MacOS on my iMac, the first use of forward search takes 5-10 seconds before my PDF viewer (Skim) finds the corresponding spot in the document. Subsequent searches are faster, but still laggy. Under Linux they are nearly instantaneous. So just those two alone make using LyX under Linux in a VM much more enjoyable. Additionally, the integration with MacOS is superb — I have a full screen KDE environment running in its own desktop (which is how I like to work anyway, with related tasks clustered in their own desktops) and, by means of symbolic links, I have complete access to my MacOS file system, so that I can edit exactly the same file in either MacOS or Linux; the experience is utterly seamless. Finally, and not incidentally, since I have been using Linux since 1996 (mostly just as a server for the last ten years), it's an environment I'm extremely comfortable in. One final note, re "X-Windows or what not". The X Window System is simply the standard windowing system/display server for Linux and most other unix systems. MacOS has one, too; it's called the Quartz Compositor. So does Windows; it's called the Desktop Window Manager. Cheers! -chris On 2018-11-01 20:04 , Chris Menzel wrote: > > Problem solved!

Screen font display issue (cleartype?)
Hi, Both my home and college computers are running LyX 1.6.3 (3 June 2009) on Windows XP, installed with the default installer. I see the following problem only on my college computer [but I have mentioned my home PC in a couple of places for comparison, you can ignore if you like]. This is about fonts as they appear in the LyX edit window, *NOT* in the PDF output (or instant preview). At college, screen fonts in LyX seem to be distorted, even when I have caching turned off. I attached a couple of examples to this email, with white background and no zooming (although the problem also occurs in my favoured settings of 120% zoom and light blue background). It seems that there are two different things going on: 1) A one-pixel wide column on the left and right edge of most characters is being truncated. This looks particularly silly for thin characters such as l and i. 2) All the pixels are converted to grey (they start off coloured because this is how ClearType shades subpixels). 2 is absolutely not a problem. I only mention it in case it's related to 1 (perhaps it's the cause?). It happens whether pixel caching is on or off, although when it is off the grey pixels are a bit darker. [home PC: I *thought* that on my home PC 2 only happened when I turned pixel caching on (in fact I leave it on there for this reason, since then the font better matches the instant preview); I can't check this since I don't have access to that PC for the next few days.] 1 is a problem! The text looks very wrong and is hard to read. [home PC: this definitely does not happen there; the text looks fine.] Interesting point I discovered: this happens even in LyX dialog boxes (both the labels and edit boxes, which use Tahoma 8pt).

Is there some font engine that LyX uses that maybe is out of date on the computer I am using? I can't try the other installer or turn ClearType off because I don't have the privileges.

Screen font display issue (cleartype?)
Hi, Both my home and college computers are running LyX 1.6.3 (3 June 2009) on Windows XP, installed with the default installer. I see the following problem only on my college computer [but I have mentioned my home PC in a couple of places for comparison, you can ignore if you like]. This is about fonts as they appear in the LyX edit window, *NOT* in the PDF output (or instant preview). At college, screen fonts in LyX seem to be distorted, even when I have caching turned off. I attached a couple of examples to this email, with white background and no zooming (although the problem also occurs in my favoured settings of 120% zoom and light blue background). It seems that there are two different things going on: 1) A one-pixel wide column on the left and right edge of most characters is being truncated. This looks particularly silly for thin characters such as l and i. 2) All the pixels are converted to grey (they start off coloured because this is how ClearType shades subpixels). 2 is absolutely not a problem. I only mention it in case it's related to 1 (perhaps it's the cause?). It happens whether pixel caching is on or off, although when it is off the grey pixels are a bit darker. [home PC: I *thought* that on my home PC 2 only happened when I turned pixel caching on (in fact I leave it on there for this reason, since then the font better matches the instant preview); I can't check this since I don't have access to that PC for the next few days.] 1 is a problem! The text looks very wrong and is hard to read. [home PC: this definitely does not happen there; the text looks fine.] Interesting point I discovered: this happens even in LyX dialog boxes (both the labels and edit boxes, which use Tahoma 8pt). The problem is not so noticeable there since it's not so bad for small fonts. In fact my workaround for now is to use small fonts for editing, but this is a strain. Any idea what might be happening?

LyX/Mac: Palatino Screen Font Missing
Have just upgraded my Mac and LyX (to 1.5.6). A hoard of fonts show up in the list of available _screen_ fonts, but for some reason not Palatino. Palatino show up in the font lists for Word and Nisus, and my LyX produced pdf's are generated in Palatino. Any thoughts? Bruce

screen font in windows displays wrong mathematical characters
Hello, I have a problem with my screen fonts using lyx 1.36. Since a couple of month the mathematical fonts are displayed wrong. e.g. \neq is displayed as 6=, \gamma as ° and so on... The lyx-file itself is fine and the ps export works perfectly. It is only a bit annoying for correction and typing. It used to work perfectly and I have no clue why it changed. (Maybe I should mention that I have Lyx 1.43 installed as well on my Computer which runs under windows xp home, but I don't remember that the problem occured when I installed the 1.43) Thanks Robert

When I installed and compiled lyx, it worked fine until one day (when I suppose I installed some RPM that made things wrong!). It is not a serious problem but annoying enough for me to send a call for help! Lyx does not display all math symbols correctly on screen since that day. For instance, I get a square instead of the sigma sign, or a filled small diamond instead of the = sign, etc. Can someone tell me what to do to come back to the previous, correct situation ?

pb with screen font in math mode (continued)
Hello, I must add (if it can help solve the problem), that when I run LyX from the command-line, I get the following message: Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 that seems harmless, but the following doesn't, and I get it when I load a file containing the formulas I can't display correctly: unusual contents found: [char E mathalpha][char ' mathalpha] Is there someone to whom it does not seem crypic ? Thanks in advance !

Re: pb with screen font in math mode
Do you the latex-xft-fonts package installed? Yes I have. To be sure, I uninstalled and re-installed it: no change :-( I vaguely remember something like this happening a while back.. are you using Qt? Try changing the Screen Fonts (at least the top two of them) in Edit-Preferences-Look and Feel to some standard font and then hit Apply... see if that makes a diff. nirmal

screen font problem with 1.3.1. on RedHat 8.0
I'm a new LyX user, and have installed 1.3.1 on RedHat 8.0. Some math symbols, such as a big sigma (sum) are not displayed. Here is a screenshot: http://orange.math.buffalo.edu/temp/lyx_font_problem.gif , showing the display with the missing symbol, along with the output (which is ok). Any help greatly appreciated. JR
