This isn't a problem of lyx, inkscape etc. but has to do with the way
the computer modern fonts are built: LaTeX uses many "hacks" to decide
which symbol to use from these fonts, they are not necessarily at the
position you'd expect. If you open the Charmap utility and select the
cmmi10 font you'll see that at the position where "normal" fonts have
+-= you find these "weird shapes" in cmmi10. LaTeX does not use the
cmmi10 for these symbols but uses the font cmr10 or cmsys10 instead. So
in inkscape etc. you'd have to switch fonts depending whether you are
using letters, numbers, symbols, etc. Another possibility would be to
use the modern version of the fonts, known as "latin modern" -- these
should be more or less standard fonts, I think.
