Font problems and PNGs? Help...

Hi all It started quite innocently with a broken font, but I somehow got into a mess... I think these are different issues: 1) Opening a document I get: LyXFont::setLyXShape: Unknown shape `normal' I have no idea where this comes from. The document has only PNGs in it - nothing else (no fonts).

Is there an image cache somewhere?

Hi all... Lyx is GREAT! That said, do have a problem: When generating PDFs with images in them, and sometimes just inside LyX itself, I find that the images don't update, like if there's a cache somewhere that doesn't get flushed after a change. Example: I have a PS image that I include in the L
